Author Fredrik Backman writes another unusual story, this one about a sad, cleanliness-compulsive Britt-Marie, who attempts to put her life together after leaving an unfaithful husband. The backwater town of Borg helps her and in turn she helps the townspeople including an unsupported soccer team, parentless children, a drunken recluse, and many others. Typical of Backman, he intersperses moments of philosophy and humor into this eccentric story.
