About this listen
For as long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that she's judgmental 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 realises. 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 than she's ever realised, and love might be found in the most unexpected of places.
The number-one European best seller by the author of A Man Called Ove, Britt-Marie Was Here is a funny, poignant and uplifting tale of love, community and second chances.

sweet story
This is the second book I've read from this author and once again, I loved it. The character of Brit-Marie grows on you from irritating to endearing. This narrator is one of my favorites as well.

Slow Start to a Delightful Story
Took me awhile to get into the story, but in the end not only did I develop a new appreciation for soccer, but I also came to delight in Britt Marie. #Audible1

slow start but really good overall!
it's a bit of a slow start but if you get through the beginning it gets really good. I loved the ending.

I would like to meet Britt Marie
Once again Fredrik Backman gives us a lead character who is both so normal and exceptional at the same time. The story brings you in until you care and are interested in the character. Britt Marie, with all her faults, elevates the story. And the secondary characters are also allowed to shine. #Audible1
