Do you know how «decent people» behave? Meet Britt-Marie, and you will understand everything. Decent people wake up exactly at 6 AM and have dinner exactly at 6 PM. Only crazy people, according to Britt-Marie, eat dinner later. Her apartment is dust-free, and her life has no impulsive actions. Even in her diary, she only makes notes with a pencil. If you suddenly offer her a pen, she will think you’ve lost your mind. But one day, Britt-Marie’s orderly world cracks at its very foundation, where even the most decent person cannot glue things back together. Leaving her husband after forty years of marriage, Britt-Marie moves to Borg, a tiny roadside village slowly dying under the weight of a financial crisis, to work at the local youth center. Unexpectedly for herself, Britt-Marie, a champion of perfect cleanliness, makes friends with a rat — and becomes the coach of the local football team (even though she hates football just as much as chaos). Taking care of the boys and girls of Borg, Britt-Marie inadvertently immerses herself in the intricacies of village life. Will she finally find her place in a world filled with misfits? An international bestseller—Fredrik Backman’s third novel—is a touching and inspiring story about love and second chances, as well as unexpected friendships that help us see ourselves from the outside and realize what we are truly capable of.
