清单人生 – Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman

人生有一种艰难，是舍弃无比熟悉的生活，重新开始。

布里特-玛丽是那种你能想象到的最无趣的63岁女人，因为她不允许生活里有任何波澜。每天6点准时起床，12点必须用餐，从不在天黑后出门，床单整理得一尘不染，否则就不是“文明人的做法”。她有许多许多清单，甚至有一张记录所有清单的清单，以保证她和丈夫的太平日子万无一失。

然而人生怎么可能用一纸清单来规划呢？

丈夫出轨，她对美好婚姻的期待摔成了无从清理的碎片。布里特-玛丽被迫离开她无比熟悉的生活。为了糊口，她接受了一份看管废弃娱乐中心的工作，来到小镇博格，可迎接她的却是一只砸向脑门的足球……从此，一群野孩子、小混混、酒鬼和一只老鼠将她的生活搅得鸡犬不宁，然而人生却在失控中获得了新的选择和新的期待。

作者弗雷德里克·巴克曼是近年全球畅销书榜单上当之无愧的金字招牌。在《清单人生》里他选择突破自己擅长的模式，没有外婆的庇护，没有爱莎和童话，他想讲一个穷途末路的老太婆重新找到自己归属的故事。

到今天，已经有900万读者体验过巴克曼的魅力，相信你也会喜欢。

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?
