Relation In Favor 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?

Commentary Regarding Books Britt-Marie Was Here

I feel like the jerkiest of jerks here, but I was honestly just kind of bored with this one. If you liked Backman's A Man Called Ove, there's a good chance that you will like this one, too. It feels very familiar, with its tale of a stubborn senior citizen won over and softened by the bigger world. In my Ove review, I commented that Backman toed the line of treacly without falling completely in. Maybe he finally fell; I think that reading another book that was so similar thematically was just

"Theres a lot you cant know about a person until you become one with her. What her capabilities are. The courage she has."I first met Britt-Marie in Backmans novel My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Shes Sorry. She wasnt exactly loveable in that book, so I was prepared to meet yet another grumpy and somewhat eccentric character in this one. Well, she was just as I imagined she would be! While I thought perhaps I wasnt going to be inclined to read an entire book about her royal crankypants, my



Having really enjoyed My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You Shes Sorry I couldnt wait to get my hands on a copy of Britt-Marie Was Here. Britt-Marie did not come across as very likeable in the former novel, but by the end of the book I had a better understanding of her. I loved her in in Britt-Marie Was Here.Britt-Marie is a strange duck. She is repressed and socially inept (understatement). She has OCD traits and miserable self-esteem. At age 63, she suddenly finds herself on her own in a teeny

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.

Author Fredrik Backman is in my TOP 5 writers of all time. I've read 4 of his books now, and they always have a profound impact on me. I'm hoping to finish reading them all this year which is why Britt-Marie Was Here made it to my September TBR. If you're familiar with his work, it's a combination of 'A Man Called Ove' and 'Beartown' in terms of the love of sport, the human condition's intensity, and the desire for a different life. All in all, I gave it 4.25 stars as it was better than a 4 but

Ha, I loved it. It has the generous spirit and humor of "A Man Called Ove" and the heart-tugging emotion that sneaks up on you -- so powerfully employed in "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" -- that's Backman's signature. His repetitive, deceptively simplistic style holds within it a world of love and sorrow. His ability to move the reader is extraordinary. The first few chapters of "Britt-Marie" are slow going. It's wonderful seeing her in a wholly new situation, adapting to
