The number one bestseller in Europe by the author of the New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon "A Man Called Ove," "Britt-Marie Was Here" is a funny, touching, and uplifting story about love, community, and second chances. As long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been a creature of habit. It's not that she's judgmental, fussy, or difficult; she simply expects things to be done in a certain way. For example, a cutlery drawer should be organized in the correct order (forks, knives, then spoons). We're not animals, are we? Yet behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, and absurdly pedantic gossip lies a woman with more imagination, bigger dreams, and a warmer heart than those around her realize. So when Britt-Marie becomes unemployed, separates from her husband of 20 years, and has to navigate life alone in the miserable provincial town of Borg, she must confront her past and embrace new possibilities.
