Britt-Marie

Fredrik Backman

Britt-Marie, a woman who has spent decades meticulously organizing her life and marriage, finds herself suddenly adrift. Leaving behind a stagnant existence, she takes a job in a forgotten town, a place as neglected as her own life once was. Unexpectedly, she's thrust into the role of soccer coach for a ragtag group of children, forcing her to confront her own rigidities and discover a strength she never knew she possessed. This is a heartwarming and humorous tale about finding purpose, community, and oneself in the most unlikely of circumstances.
