Britt-Marie was here

Fredrik Backman

#knygolav Publishing House presents another bestseller by popular Swedish author and blogger Fredrik Backman about friendship, courage to face losses, and dreams that come true.

The novel "Britt-Marie Was Here" tells the story of one of the heroines of Fredrik Backman's previous book "My Grandma Asks Her to Forgive Her", which became a New York Times bestseller. It tells the story of a 63-year-old woman going through a family crisis. She was betrayed by the man who was Britt-Marie's whole life. With a broken heart, the heroine of the book decides to change her fate by going to the abandoned town of Borg to get her first job in forty years. Britt-Marie finds herself among football fans, freaks and even hooligans. Despite the fact that the economic crisis has almost devastated Borg, there are still people in it who are not going to give up. In any incomprehensible situation, Britt-Marie starts cleaning. What is hidden behind this boring habit? What trials have befallen the main character?

In her own authorial style, Backman reveals the formation of her personality, tells about the fate of a woman who is very concerned about what others will say about her, and tries to always behave like a cultured person. In Borg, Britt-Marie plunges into a different life, finding friends and even receiving the status of coach of the local football team. Here she will experience true freedom, will feel love and most importantly - will get the opportunity to be herself and not be afraid of her own dreams.

"Britt-Marie Was Here" is a witty, sweet, sentimental story about how life truly opens up to those who are ready for change and have the ability to love others.
