About this product

Product Information

The number 1 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.

  • Highly Recommended

    Brilliant follow on from My Grandmother sends Her Regards and Apologises. It fleshed out the character of Britt-Marie and turns her from an irritating background character to one you get to know and love. I couldn’t bear to finish it. If you have already watched the film, don’t let that put you off the book as it only has a superficial similarity to it.

  • Intriguing Author

    Just finished A Man Called Ove, enjoyed it so much that decided to search out other titles by same author. Arrived in time and packed well, not read yet.

  • Heart warming.

    Heart warming . Would make a good film in my opinion. Our heroine goes from leading an empty narrow life into becoming a fully fledged hands-on human being.
