Britt-Marie Was Here: A Novel

Britt-Marie Was Here is a heartwarming story about a woman rediscovering herself after personal crisis.

The author has written another bestseller with this novel, captivating readers with its "warm and satisfying" (People) tale of a woman finding her place in a small town of misfits.

Fans of Backman will find another winner in these pages as they are drawn into the daily doings of the town's odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts, and Britt-Marie's quest to lead the supremely untalented children's soccer team to victory.

With clear, tight descriptions, Backman reveals Britt-Marie's need for order and her obsessive-compulsive ways, making her a relatable and endearing character.

This sweet and inspiring story about truth and transformation will resonate long after the last page is read.
