她藉助清單認真嚴謹地活過數十年人生,
溢出清單的瘋狂,卻讓她找回真正的自己!

明天誰的門都別敲,跳進車裡直接開走

布蕾瑪莉無法忍受生活裡的混亂。她用清單管理每一天每一分每一秒。千萬不能小看它的威力,布蕾瑪莉不按部就班完成,她絕不罷休。

她認真為家人經營溫馨的家,以丈夫為重,卻發現丈夫有外遇!布蕾瑪莉決定離家出走,雖然這項目不在她的清單上。她意外來到鳥不生蛋的破落小鎮博格,只好找工作養活自己(其實主要是怕自己孤獨老死沒人發現)。生活的變動遠超過她的想像(與容忍範圍),她竟成待拆除的活動中心臨時管理員。那裡有一群愛足球的小鬼頭、盲眼的前足球教練酗酒女、經營披薩店兼各式暢貨中心的路人甲、地方惡勢力小混混等等,根本不是生活單純的她能夠應付得來。

各種離奇的事件在在打破她所有的規則,包括趕鴨子上架擔任無牌足球教練、喝到酩酊大醉、只在電影中看過的情節,她的人生,已經不再是清單可以管理!眼前的她該何去何從?只能奮力自行找出答案了!

【媒體讚譽】

貝克曼又寫出一本暢銷小說。一開始布蕾瑪莉看似讓人難以忍受、易激怒他人,但讀者卻會很快就喜歡上她的特殊性格,以及奇特的坦白態度。寫作形式起先也會讓人覺得過度尖銳,但讀者也會迅速發現,這是布蕾瑪莉接近世界的方式,會讓讀者深感在心。這本書讓人感動萬分,即使讀畢最後一頁,仍會盤旋腦海久久不去。─《RT Magazine》

貝克漢精準抓住了關鍵平衡點,不過度甜膩,但也不陽春白雪,而能深具普遍性!─《圖書館期刊》

The New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry “returns with this heartwarming story about a woman rediscovering herself after a personal crisis…fans of Backman will find another winner in these pages” (Publishers Weekly).

Britt-Marie can’t stand mess. A disorganized cutlery drawer ranks high on her list of unforgivable sins. She is not one to judge others—no matter how ill-mannered, unkempt, or morally suspect they might be. It’s just that sometimes people interpret her helpful suggestions as criticisms, which is certainly not her intention.

But hidden inside the socially awkward, fussy busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams, and a warmer heart that anyone around her realizes.

When Britt-Marie walks out on her cheating husband and has to fend for herself in the miserable backwater town of Borg—of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it—she finds work as the caretaker of a soon-to-be demolished recreation center. The fastidious Britt-Marie soon finds herself being drawn into the daily doings of her fellow citizens, an odd assortment of miscreants, drunkards, layabouts. Most alarming of all, she’s given the impossible task of leading the supremely untalented children’s soccer team to victory. In this small town of misfits, can Britt-Marie find a place where she truly belongs?

Funny and moving, sweet and inspiring, Britt-Marie Was Here celebrates the importance of community and connection in a world that can feel isolating.
