## Description

A funny and uplifting tale of love, community and second chances from the internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, Anxious People and My Friends See what readers are saying about Britt-Marie 'A truly delightful read. I highly recommend this book. If you loved Ove, you'll love Britt-Marie' Amazon reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Beautiful book. I couldn't put it down. You can't help but fall in love with all the characters' Amazon reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'A gorgeous tale of love, life and community. Fredrik Backman has done it again' Amazon reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'One of the best books I have had the privilege to read in quite some time. Funny, heart-breaking, moving, inspiring' Amazon reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Impossible not to love Britt-Marie . . . an utterly loveable book about the power of community' Amazon reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 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. But behind the passive-aggressive, 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 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.
