520    Britt-Marie can't stand mess. She eats dinner at precisely
       the right time and starts her day at six in the morning 
       because only lunatics wake up later than that. And she is 
       not passive-aggressive. Not in the least. It's just that 
       sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as 
       criticisms, which is certainly not her intention. But at 
       sixty-three, Britt-Marie has had enough. She finally walks
       out on her loveless forty-year marriage and finds a job in
       the only place she can: Borg, a small, derelict town 
       devastated by the financial crisis. For the fastidious 
       Britt-Marie, this new world of noisy children, muddy 
       floors, and a roommate who is a rat (literally), is a hard
       adjustment. As for the citizens of Borg, with everything 
       that they know crumbling around them, the only thing that 
       they have left to hold onto is something Britt-Marie 
       absolutely loathes: their love of soccer. When the 
       village's youth team becomes desperate for a coach, they 
       set their sights on her. She's the least likely candidate,
       but their need is obvious and there is no one else to do 
       it. Thus begins a beautiful and unlikely partnership. In 
       her new role as reluctant mentor to these lost young boys 
       and girls, Britt-Marie soon finds herself becoming 
       increasingly vital to the community. And even more 
       surprisingly, she is the object of romantic desire for a 
       friendly and handsome local policeman named Sven. In this 
       world of oddballs and misfits, can Britt-Marie finally 
       find a place where she belongs? Zany and full-of-heart, 
       Britt-Marie Was Here is a novel about love and second 
       chances, and about the unexpected friendships we make that
       teach us who we really are and the things we are capable 
       of doing
