Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman
3.0

3.5 stars. Though not my favorite of Backman’s novels, Britt-Marie is an endearing story with a host of eclectic characters. The book moves very well and stays in a bit of a distanced narration to the characters. Britt-Marie is easy to love, though she is clearly quirky. It’s worth the read, though I am quick to recommend a different novel for those reading Backman for the first time. For those who have enjoyed his precious works, this one will feel a bit closer to the heart.
