Britt-Marie Was Here: A Novel

The New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Sheâ€™s Sorry â€œreturns with this heartwarming story about a woman rediscovering herself after a personal crisisâ€¦fans of Backman will find another winner in these pagesâ€ (Publishers Weekly).

Britt-Marie canâ€™t stand mess. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. She is not one to judge othersâ€”no matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. Itâ€™s 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 Borgâ€”of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through itâ€”she 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, sheâ€™s given the impossible task of leading the supremely untalented childrenâ€™s soccer team to victory. In this small town of misfits, can Britt-Marie find a place where she truly belongs?

Funny and moving, sweet and inspiring, Britt-Marie Was Here celebrates the importance of community and connection in a world that can feel isolating.
