Synopses

A Man Called Ove

Ove seems, at first, to be the grumpiest man you could meet. Convinced he is surrounded by incompetence, he keeps up his daily inspection rounds of the local streets, from neighbours who cannot reverse a trailer to shop assistants who “talk in code”. Beneath his rigid certainty about how the world should work, there is something about him that proves difficult to resist.

My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises

Seven-year-old Elsa remembers her grandmother through the stories she tells and the extraordinary things she does, from flirting with policemen to breaking into a zoo at night. To Elsa, she is a superhero, and the tales of knights, princesses, dragons and castles become a kind of superpower.

As Christmas approaches, Elsa begins to understand that heroes and villains may be closer than she imagined, and that even the best grandmothers can have things they want to apologise for.

Britt-Marie Was Here

Britt-Marie has long been “an acquired taste”, with firm ideas about how things should be done, down to the order of a cutlery drawer. Behind her socially awkward, pedantic exterior is someone with imagination, dreams and a warmer heart than others realise.

After becoming unemployed, separating from her husband of 20 years and arriving in Borg, she is unexpectedly put in charge of the local football team. As things unfold, she finds life may hold more than she thought, and that love can appear in unexpected places.
