Low on social skills and obsessed with cleaning, Britt-Marie doesn&#8217;t seem to have a lot to offer. When the employment office manages to get her a job in the dying town of Borg, Britt-Marie is slowly embraced by a community she never thought she would have. Quirky but lovable characters are Backman&#8217;s forte, and it is difficult to not be charmed by Britt-Marie&#8217;s journey.
