«Britt-Marie var her» is the contemporary novel by Fredrik Backman, published by Cappelen Damm in paperback (334 pages, in Norwegian).
Britt-Marie, 63, leaves her husband and looks for work. She finds it in Borg, a crisis-hit town where only a pizzeria remains. She hates football, but there is nothing else; the youth club, in need of a coach, offers her the job. A date with a policeman and a broken hand in a solarium end up changing everything.
Norwegian translation by Einar Blomgren; work originally published in Swedish as «Britt-Marie var här» in 2014. Nominated for the Dublin Literary Award in 2018.
