Britt-Marie Was Here
of Fredrik Backman (Goodreads Author), Henning Koch (Goodreads Author) (Translator)
Description
Britt-Marie canât stand mess. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. She is not one to judge othersâno matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. Itâs just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. But hidden inside the socially awkward, fussy busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams, and a warmer heart that anyone around her realizes.When Britt-Marie walks out on her cheating husband and has to fend for herself in the miserable backwater town of Borgâof which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through itâshe finds work as the caretaker of a soon-to-be demolished recreation center. The fastidious Britt-Marie soon finds herself being drawn into the daily doings of her fellow citizens, an odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts. Most alarming of all, sheâs given the impossible task of leading the supremely untalented childrenâs soccer team to victory. In this small town of misfits, can Britt-Marie find a place where she truly belongs?
