I like how Britt-Marie is a strong character that takes control of her destiny. However, these faults are quickly melted with her big heart that has been hidden under her tough exterior. She's very particular about her methods of doing things and she's blunt in her criticism. Honestly, it was going to be hard for Backman to top, A Man Called Ove and even though, Britt-Marie Was Here is a wonderful book, it doesn't quite compete.Īs with his character Ove, Britt-Marie has some big flaws. Backman's A Man Called Ove, is one of my all- time favorite books. LIKE- When I saw that Fredrik Backman had a new release and that I was approved for an advanced copy, I was thrilled. Who will benefit more? A town in need of a new start or Britt-Marie? Britt-Marie decides to take the only job offered, a low-paying, temporary position as a community center director in the impoverished town of Borg. Although she has many skills, not many of them look appealing on paper, especially during a time when her country (Sweden) is in an economic crisis. Double-Whammy. Britt-Marie has spent her life a career homemaker, but after hearing about her husband's affair, she decides to leave him and look for a job. Her husband Kent has suffered a heart-attack and she has received the bad news from her husband's mistress. Thank you to Atria Books for providing me with an advanced copy of Fredrik Backman's novel, Britt-Marie Was Here, in exchange for an honest review.
