natalexx 's review for:
Britt-Marie Was Here
by Fredrik Backman
On the spectrum of what I like to call the "quirky loner" niche, this book ranks at the bottom.
My abbreviated ranking goes something like this:
Man Called Ove
Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
Britt-Marie was Here
The appeal of this genre, for me, is characters who don't quite fit into society but find a way to be loved anyway ("The Rosie Project" is another good example that came a little before this recent explosion in popularity). But I found that Backman's book is more interested in quirky circumstances and surprise twists. YMMV.
