X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p><strong> The Novel Views Book Club will me
 et in the Children's Programming Room\, located on the lower level of the 
 library.&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><em>"</em>Britt-Marie can't stand mess. S
 he eats dinner at precisely the right time and starts her day at six in th
 e morning because only lunatics wake up later than that. And she is not pa
 ssive-aggressive. Not in the least. It's just that sometimes people interp
 ret her helpful suggestions as criticisms\, which is certainly not her int
 ention. But at sixty-three\, Britt-Marie has had enough. She finally walks
  out on her loveless forty-year marriage and finds a job in the only place
  she can: Borg\, a small\, derelict town devastated by the financial crisi
 s. For the fastidious Britt-Marie\, this new world of noisy children\, mud
 dy floors\, and a roommate who is a rat (literally)\, is a hard adjustment
 . As for the citizens of Borg\, with everything that they know crumbling a
 round them\, the only thing that they have left to hold onto is something 
 Britt-Marie absolutely loathes: their love of soccer. When the village's y
 outh team becomes desperate for a coach\, they set their sights on her. Sh
 e's the least likely candidate\, but their need is obvious and there is no
  one else to do it. Thus begins a beautiful and unlikely partnership. In h
 er new role as reluctant mentor to these lost young boys and girls\, Britt
 -Marie soon finds herself becoming increasingly vital to the community. An
 d even more surprisingly\, she is the object of romantic desire for a frie
 ndly and handsome local policeman named Sven. In this world of oddballs an
 d misfits\, can Britt-Marie finally find a place where she belongs?" -- MC
