Britt-Marie Was Here
New Paperback
Postscript summary
Following a long marriage and years of looking after her entrepreneur husband and his twins, 63-year-old Britt-Marie finds her circumstances radically altered. As she embarks on building a new life for herself, in a world where her fastidiousness seems to count for little and her blunt nature is met with confusion, she is drawn into a small community of misfits.
Product information
Full publisher description

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.
