Britt-Marie is a socially awkward, fussy busybody who is used to being organized. When she walks out on her cheating husband and gets a job as caretaker of the dilapidated recreation center in Borg, she is woefully unprepared for the changes. But as she takes on the task of leading the supremely untalented children's soccer team to victory, she just might find a place she belongs.

Review of 'Britt-Marie was here' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It took me a looooooong time to muster up any affection for Britt-Marie. I agree with a reading friend of mine that this is too like A Man Called Ove to rate nearly as well (formulaic, but not as good).
