HODDER PUBLISHING Brittmarie Was Here by Fredrik Backman

Britt-Marie Was Here -(fredrik backman) Description The number 1 European bestseller by the author of New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon A Man Called Ove; Britt-Marie was Here is a funny; poignant and uplifting tale of love; community; and second chances. For as long as anyone can remember; Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that she's judgemental; or fussy; or difficult - she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order; for example (forks; knives; then spoons). We're not animals; are we? But behind the passive-aggressive; socially awkward; absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination; bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her realizes. So when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed; separated from her husband of 20 years; left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial backwater that is Borg - of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it - and somehow tasked with running the local football team; she is a little unprepared. But she will learn that life may have more to offer her that she's ever realised; and love might be found in the most unexpected of places. ...
