Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Britt-Marie can't stand mess; a disorganized cutlery drawer is an unforgivable sin. She starts her day at 6 a.m., believing that only lunatics wake up later. Though she insists she’s not passive-aggressive, her helpful suggestions often come off as criticisms, which she never intends. Britt-Marie claims not to judge others, regardless of their shortcomings. Yet beneath her socially awkward, fussy exterior lies a woman with imagination, dreams, and a warm heart that few recognize. When she leaves her cheating husband, she finds herself in the dreary town of Borg, where she is unprepared for the challenges ahead. As the caretaker of a soon-to-be-demolished recreation center, she faces muddy floors, unruly children, and an unexpected roommate—a rat. Drawn into the lives of her eccentric neighbors, including a handsome local policeman whose affections are unwelcome, Britt-Marie is tasked with leading a hopeless children's soccer team. In this small town filled with misfits, can she find a place where she truly belongs? This story is both funny and moving, celebrating unexpected friendships and the gentle spirits that can transform the world.
