Relation In Pursuance Of Books Britt-Marie Was Here

Britt-Marie can’t stand mess. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. She is not one to judge others—no matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. It’s just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. 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.

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. The fastidious Britt-Marie soon finds herself being drawn into the daily doings of her fellow citizens, an odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts. Most alarming of all, she’s given the impossible task of leading the supremely untalented children’s soccer team to victory. In this small town of misfits, can Britt-Marie find a place where she truly belongs?

Write-Up Based On Books Britt-Marie Was Here

I am very late to the party for this book and when I saw this in the library, I remembered how so many of my goodreads friends had read and loved this. This is a terrific tale of Britt-Marie who is 63, and who we meet as she tries to get a job because she is afraid no one will notice if she were to die, she keenly feels her isolation and loneliness. It quickly becomes clear that something is wrong from her OCD issues surrounding her manic cleaning and the manner in which she pins down her

Britt-Marie is the sort of person who likes things just so. She cant abide a disorganized cutlery drawer, being offered milk in tiny disposable cartons, plastic mugs, plastic teaspoons. She is, if nothing else, fastidious. Milk and Sugar? the girl asks, pouring some coffee into a plastic mug. Britt-Marie doesnt judge anyone. Far from it. But who would behave like that? A plastic mug! Are we at war?Britt-Marie begins this journey as a 63-year old woman who has just moved out of her flat with her

4 Faxin StarsThis was my first ever Fredrik Backman book. And I absolutely loved Backman's writing style. I loved the story. I loved all the supporting characters...and I REALLY loved Britt-Marie. "At a certain age almost all the questions a person asks him or herself are really just about one thing: how should you live your life?But really, how should we? Something to think about. Something this book definitely made me think about.

My inauguration into the world of Backman.I wasn't sure about it for the first 50 pages thinking this character is whacked and do I really want to read about a 64 year old woman who is only just finding herself after years of repression? It turned out, yes I do. Britt-Marie is a hot mess. She's left her husband - which was well overdue- but is lost in a world nonexistent to others. She's never worked outside of the home and she has cleaning OCD. She's really odd - her thoughts; her behaviours.



3.5 Stars "You are not alone if someone needs you." Backman does it again....creates a one-of-a-kind quirky character, but this one just wants to be loved, needed and remembered.The laughs begin early on as an honest (to a fault) and forthright 63 year old Britt-Marie enters into a conversation with a girl working in the unemployment office. Desperately in need of a job to improve her self-esteem and need to be useful, Britt-Marie unknowingly proceeds to insult the girl with a so-called
