Britt-Marie has lost her wandering husband and even though he upset her perfectly ordered world, has lost her anchor. She decides what she needs is a job although she is only qualified to run a household and soon beats the system and finds herself at a small town recreation center. Her car is in the shop and she has no where to go so she starts to organize her life and in the same breath, the rec center and its inhabitants. Soon people (and a snicker eating rat) start warming up to her curmudgeon attitude and she is asked to become the kid's soccer coach. Not only must she learn the game but also cut through the red tape and figure out if she should take her husband back or begin anew with a very sweet town policeman. With Faxon cleaner in hand, Britt-Marie will clean up the town of Borg and her own mixed up life dispelling advice to anyone she feels should listen. Fredrik Backman has shown us time and time again that he is the master of quirky characters who we grow to love just as the book's inhabitants do.
