and Britt-Marie Was Here;

book about parenthood. His books have sold more than 18 million
copies in 46 languages. The Swedish-language film adaptation of A
Man Called Ove was nominated for two Academy Awards, and more
recently the book was adapted into a major motion picture starring
Tom Hanks.
This is an author who understands people and watches society
closely.... An author who specialises in the unforgettable, outdoes
himself and in the process overshoots our rating system.... In the
end 5*s are all I can offer but I feel that this is a novel that
deserves many, many more.
*Bookbag*
Impressive [and] heart-warming... there are unexpected delights to
being stuck with Britt-Marie.
*Literary Review*
A brilliant mix of belly-laughs, profound insight and captivating
events delivered... with Backman's pitch-perfect dialogue and an
unparalleled understanding of human nature.
*Shelf Awareness*
The bestselling author of A MAN CALLED OVE returns with this
heartwarming story about a woman rediscovering herself after
personal crisis. Backman reveals Britt-Marie's need for
order....with clear, tight descriptions. Insightful and touching,
this is a sweet and inspiring story about truth and transformation.
Fans of Backman's will find another winner in these pages.
