NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - TRANSLATED INTO 40 LANGUAGES
From the author of the bestseller "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry." Britt-Marie cannot stand clutter - even a drawer with mixed cutlery can completely throw her off track. She also wakes up every day at the same time and eats her meals precisely when she should, because that's what all civilized people do.
She is not aggressive - quite the opposite. It’s just that sometimes people misinterpret her well-meaning comments and view them as malicious criticism. At sixty-three, however, Britt-Marie feels she has had enough. After forty years, she decides to end her marriage, leave her home, and find a job in the only place she can: Borg, a village ravaged by economic crisis and almost in ruins.
Britt-Marie, who hates football, becomes the coach of a hopeless youth team. She, who despises noise and dirt, now lives in a space filled with noisy children, steps on muddy floors, and shares her home (literally) with a rat.
And yet, in this inhospitable environment, Britt-Marie feels she is becoming more and more useful to those around her. Something even more unexpected happens to her: a friendly and handsome police officer flirts with her!
A funny and uplifting story about love, second chances, and the relationships that form where you least expect them, revealing who you truly are and how much you can achieve.
