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.Britt-Marie can’t stand mess.

Most alarming of all, she's given the impossible task of leading the supremely untalented children's soccer team to victory. The fastidious Britt-Marie soon finds herself being drawn into the daily doings of her fellow citizens, an odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts. When Britt-Marie walks out on her cheating husband and has to fend for herself in the miserable backwater town of Borg-of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it-she finds work as the caretaker of a soon-to-be demolished recreation center. 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. It's just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. She is not one to judge others-no matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. The New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, and Anxious People captivates readers with this 'warm and satisfying' (People) story 'about a woman rediscovering herself after a personal crisis.fans of Backman will find another winner in these pages' (Publishers Weekly).Britt-Marie can't stand mess.
