BrittMarie Was Here A Novel edition by Fredrik Backman Literature Fiction eBooks

Britt-Marie was Here is the best book I've read this year. Simply put, it is fantastic.

Britt-Marie is difficult, frustrating and socially awkward. She is also insensitive and kind of rude. A minor character in My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, Britt-Marie was instantly disliked in that book and is not well liked in the beginning of this one either. However, Fredrik Backman has this endearing way of making old curmudgeons likeable and being extremely successful at it (i.e. Ove and Britt-Marie). Her character, her ocd, her social ineptitude.. they grow on you. Here, we find out why she is the way she is and we discover that, due to her childhood and her marriage, she has felt invisible her whole life. She has trouble figuring out who she really is and is fanatical simply because it is the only thing she can control. Upon losing everything, she decides to find a job and is forced to move to a small town. In the process she finds a sense of humor, discovers that she is capable of making friends and also finds her sense of self.

Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove was one of my favorite books ever. His writing style is smart, funny, quirky and just downright amazing. His characters are rich, well developed and beloved. In addition to Britt-Marie, Vega, Somebody, Bank, Sami and "the girl from the unemployment office" lent heart and soul to the story and gave Britt-Marie exactly what she needed: friends and reasons to go have at it.

I didn't think it was possible for Mr. Backman to write another book that I'd love as much as "Ove" but if truth be told, I love this one more. It was truly phenomenal.

BrittMarie Was Here A Novel edition by Fredrik Backman Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

This book starts off like one of those irritating Amelia Bedelia creations for kids a dolt at the forefront who is so literal that she invariably messes up anything she touches. But then ... not too far in, Britt-Marie begins to acquire dimensions and, even more important, she evolves into a truly sympathetic character. A woman who's been put down in one way or another for her entire life, of course she comforts herself (and rewards others) by cleaning everything in sight, making the view of her immediate world acceptable, even pleasing. Having accepted a job overseeing the recreation center in a financially devastated town, without actually trying, her presence begins to make itself felt. At the core of it all is the local children's passion for soccer--a game about which she knows nothing. It's quite an accomplishment for author Backman to make us care about all the characters in this novel. And we do care - particularly about Britt-Marie who scarcely knows herself after a childhood with an uncaring mother and decades of marriage to a dismissive, controlling man. By the halfway mark, we're rooting for her and for the children, and for the local policeman who's taken a shine to this woman.

This was my introduction to Fredrik Backman. I intend to read his other books because I was so taken and so touched by the townful of well-conceived characters he brought to life and about whom he made me care.
RECOMMENDED.
Absolutely loved this book! I'd began my journey with the author in My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry where we first meet Britt-Marie, a rather annoying, aggravating, socially inept character, the type of character we've probably all met in real life, and yet sometimes we want to know what makes them tick. Was Britt-Marie always this way, did she become this way and if so, why? Will she always be this way - which is why we're reading the book. Britt-Marie Was Here answers those questions, is amusing, dramatic, thoughtful, poignant . Backman's books are deceptively simple tales laced with little gems of wisdom. I like to read before bed and eagerly looked forward to the next chapter and almost hated when I reached the end. A side note - anyone who prefers cleanliness and order, likes to clean, or cleans furiously out of frustration, anger, revenge or denial will see a part of themselves in this book I certainly did. I also rediscovered the many uses for baking soda. My only issue with Backman's books is that I read them faster than he can write them.
I am so in love with this author! I was given A Man Called Ove for Christmas a few weeks ago and could not put it down. I can't recall the last time I literally laughed OUT LOUD reading a book, and with this one I did several times. And cried. And smiled. The book ended and I felt that saddness like when a good friend visits from far away then leaves to go back home.

So I immediately looked for another book by him and found Britt-Marie Was Here. Another incredible book where you fall in love with the characters, you recognize yourself in some, people you know in others, and you cheer for them, hurt for them and all at once feel like you could walk right in and know everyone immediately...like you've never been away.

I can't wait to start my next book by Fredrik Backman. His stories are such treasure. I'm grateful we were introduced by one who knows me so well. enjoy!
