Britt-Marie was introduced as a character in Backman's second novel, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You That She's Sorry.
I read Britt-Marie after Ove and before Grandmother, but I kind of wished that I had read Grandmother first.
It doesn't make too much difference, it just gives you more insight into the character of Britt-Marie. Grandmother was my favorite of the three.

My wife especially liked Britt-Marie, but she didn't read Grandmother.

Happy reading!
