Synopsis "Beartown (in English)"

Britt-Marie Was Here:For as long as anyone can remember, Britt-Marie has been an acquired taste. It's not that she's judgemental, or fussy, or difficult - she just expects things to be done in a certain way. A cutlery drawer should be arranged in the right order, for example (forks, knives, then spoons). We're not animals, are we? But behind the passive-aggressive, socially awkward, absurdly pedantic busybody is a woman who has more imagination, bigger dreams and a warmer heart than anyone around her realizes.Beartown:In a large Swedish forest Beartown hides a dark secret . . .Cut-off from everywhere else it experiences the kind of isolation that tears people apart.And each year more and more of the town is swallowed by the forest.Then the town is offered a bright new future.But it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act.It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk the future to see justice done.My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises:A must-read for fans of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Maria Semple's Where'd You Go, BernadetteHeartbreaking and hilarious in equal measure, by the author of the New York Times bestselling phenomenon A Man Called Ove will charm and delight anyone who has ever had a grandmother. Everyone remembers the smell of their grandmother's house. Everyone remembers the stories their grandmother told them.
