It was once a thriving town with a large trucking company, but it was hit very hard by the financial crisis. Once she’s left, she takes a job the only place she can find, the rather derelict town of Borg. Kent never fully appreciated the extent to which Britt-Marie kept his life in order, unfortunately, and she’s simply had enough of their loveless 40 year marriage. A well organized cutlery drawer and a thorough understanding of the virtues of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) are key to a proper life. She’s not difficult, she just happens to like things a certain way. That’s how I came to read Britt-Marie Was Here. Let’s not make a big deal out of it, okay? Anyhow, a while back I read A Man Called Ove by Fredrick Backman ( review) and really dug it, so I thought I’d check out some more of his work. I’m still reading, of course, in between bouts of hibernation and snacking. The fact that it’s cold and gray doesn’t appear to have had the desired effect on my blogging output.
