He thinks himself surrounded by idiots - neighbours who can't reverse a trailer properly; joggers; shop assistants who talk in code; and the perpetrators of the vicious coup d'etat that ousted him as Chairman of the Residents' Association. He will persist in making his daily inspection rounds of the local streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut isn't it rare; these days; to find such old-fashioned clarity of belief and deed? Such unswerving conviction about what the world should be; and a lifelong dedication to making it just so?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the end; you will see; there is something about Ove that is quite irresistible...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA must-read for fans of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and Maria Semple's Where'd You Go; Bernadette Heartbreaking 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. But does everyone remember their grandmother flirting with policemen? Driving illegally? Breaking into a zoo in the middle of the night? Firing a paintball gun from a balcony in her dressing gown? Seven-year-old Elsa does. Some might call Elsa's granny 'eccentric'; or even 'crazy'. Elsa calls her a superhero. And granny's stories; of knights and princesses and dragons and castles; are her superpower. Because; as Elsa is starting to learn; heroes and villains don't always exist in imaginary kingdoms; they could live just down the hallway. As Christmas draws near; even the best superhero grandmothers may have one or two things they'd like to apologise for. And; in the process; Elsa can have some breath-taking adventures of her own\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBritt-Marie Was Here\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number 1 European bestseller by the author of New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon A Man Called Ove; Britt-Marie was Here is a funny; poignant and uplifting tale of love; community; and second chances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor 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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo when Britt-Marie finds herself unemployed; separated from her husband of 20 years; left to fend for herself in the miserable provincial backwater that is Borg - of which the kindest thing one can say is that it has a road going through it - and somehow tasked with running the local football team; she is a little unprepared. But she will learn that life may have more to offer her that she's ever realised; and love might be found in the most unexpected of places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sceptre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46979103621426,"sku":"SNW5477","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/7351\/5314\/files\/image_131263_1d08f383-9fd6-4f58-88fa-22bf55006834.jpg?v=1781884262","url":"https:\/\/www.powpex.com\/products\/fredrik-backman-fredrick-backman-3bks","provider":"Powpex Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
