{"product_id":"backman-britt-marie-was-here-3","title":"Backman: Britt-Marie Was Here","description":"The number 1 European bestseller by the author of New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon A Man Called Ove, Britt-Marie was Here is a funny, poignant and uplifting tale of love, community, and second chances.  For as long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that she's judgemental, or fussy, or difficult - she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for example (forks, knives, then spoons). We're not animals, are we? But behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her realizes.  So when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed, separated from her husband of 20 years, left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial backwater that is Borg - of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it - and somehow tasked with running the local football team, she is a little unprepared. But she will learn that life may have more to offer her that she's ever realised, and love might be found in the most unexpected of places.","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton General Division","offers":[{"title":"New - Paperback","offer_id":32911243903061,"sku":"9781473617230N","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/9781473617230.jpg?v=1606562252","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/backman-britt-marie-was-here-3","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
