Description

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove returns with a
dazzling, profound novel about a small town with a big dream—and the price
required to make it come true. People say Beartown is finished. A tiny
community nestled deep in the forest, it is slowly losing ground to the
ever encroaching trees. But down by the lake stands an old ice rink, built
generations ago by the working men who founded this town. And in that ice
rink is the reason people in Beartown believe tomorrow will be better than
today. Their junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national
semi-finals, and they actually have a shot at winning. All the hopes and
dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a handful of teenage
boys. Being responsible for the hopes of an entire town is a heavy burden,
and the semi-final match is the catalyst for a violent act that will leave
a young girl traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and,
like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no
resident unaffected. Beartown explores the hopes that bring a small
community together, the secrets that tear it apart, and the courage it
takes for an individual to go against the grain. In this story of a small
forest town, Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.
