She finally walks from her loveless 40-year marriage and locates a job in the one place she can: Borg, a small, derelict town devastated by the financial meltdown. For the fastidious Britt-Marie, this " new world " of noisy children, muddy flooring surfaces, and a roommate who is a rat (virtually) is a difficult adjustment. As for the citizens of Borg, with exactly what they know crumbling around them, the thing that they have left to hold on to is something Britt-Marie absolutely loathes: their love of soccer. If the village's youngsters team becomes desperate for a coach, they arranged their sights on her. She's minimal likely prospect, but their need is evident, and there is no-one else to do it. Thus begins a lovely and unlikely collaboration. In her new role as hesitant coach to these lost young children, Britt-Marie soon locates herself becoming more and more vital to the city. And, even more amazingly, she is the thing of romantic desire to have a friendly and attractive local policeman known as Sven. Nowadays of oddballs and misfits, can Britt-Marie finally find a place where she belongs? Zany and filled with heart, Britt-Marie Was Here is a novel about love and second chances and about the unforeseen friendships we make that show us who we are really and the items we can handle doing.
