It's not that she's judgemental, or fussy, or difficult - she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for example (forks, knives, then spoons). We're not animals, are we? But behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her realizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed, separated from her husband of 20 years, left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial backwater that is Borg - of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it - 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Impressive and heart-warming . . . there are unexpected delights to being stuck with Britt-Marie' Literary Review\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Backman, Fredrik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465704018104,"sku":"9781473617230","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781473617230.jpg?v=1734705163","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781473617230","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
