Book Description
================
From the best-selling author of the "charming debut" (People) A Man Called Ove and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You
She's Sorry, a heartwarming and hilarious story of a reluctant outsider who transforms a tiny village and a woman who
finds love and second chances in the unlikeliest of places.
Britt-Marie can't stand mess. She eats dinner at precisely the right time and starts her day at six in the morning
because only lunatics wake up later than that. And she is not passive-aggressive. Not in the least. It's just that
sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention.
But at 63, Britt-Marie has had enough. She finally walks out on her loveless 40-year marriage and finds a job in the
only place she can: Borg, a small, derelict town devastated by the financial crisis. For the fastidious Britt-Marie,
this new world of noisy children, muddy floors, and a roommate who is a rat (literally) is a hard adjustment.
As for the citizens of Borg, with everything that they know crumbling around them, the only thing that they have left to
hold on to is something Britt-Marie absolutely loathes: their love of soccer. When the village's youth team becomes
desperate for a coach, they set their sights on her. She's the least likely candidate, but their need is obvious, and
there is no one else to do it.
Thus begins a beautiful and unlikely partnership. In her new role as reluctant mentor to these lost young boys and
girls, Britt-Marie soon finds herself becoming increasingly vital to the community. And, even more surprisingly, she is
the object of romantic desire for a friendly and handsome local policeman named Sven. In this world of oddballs and
misfits, can Britt-Marie finally find a place where she belongs?
Zany and full of heart, Britt-Marie Was Here is a novel about love and second chances and about the unexpected
friendships we make that teach us who we really are and the things we are capable of doing.
