'I utterly believed in the residents of Beartown, and felt
ripped apart by the events in the book' JOJO MOYES WHAT DOES IT
TAKE TO STAND TOGETHER? ‘It’s often said that winners
write history, but there are no winners here’ This is a small
story about big questions. It's a story about family, community,
life. It starts with a storm - and a death. But how
does it end?  Two years have passed since the events
that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on,
but there’s something about this place that prevents it. The
residents continue to grapple with life’s big questions: What is
a family? What is a community? And what, if anything, are we
willing to sacrifice in order to protect them? As the locals of
Beartown struggle to overcome the past, great change is on the
horizon. Someone is coming home after a long time away. Someone
will be laid to rest. Someone will fall in love, someone will try
to fix their marriage, and someone will do anything to save their
children. Someone will submit to hate, someone will fight, and
someone will grab a gun and walk towards the ice rink. So what are
the residents of Beartown willing to sacrifice for their home?
Everything. PRAISE FOR THE BEARTOWN BOOKS: 'This is a stunning read
that plunges you into another world. Backman writes with incredible
sensitivity and insight. Every one of the characters is real and
multi-faceted, having you breathlessly turning the pages, following
their fears and hopes, fretting for their futures. This is
storytelling at its best: Emotional, vivid, wise and utterly
brilliant' HAZEL PRIOR 'Surrounded by impenetrable forests,
Beartown recreates the stifling atmosphere of a dying community. A
mature, compassionate novel' SUNDAY TIMES 'Backman can tickle the
funny bone and tug on the heart strings when he needs to, and is a
clever enough storyteller to not overindulge in either' INDEPENDENT
'As popular Swedish exports go, Backman is up there with ABBA and
Stieg Larsson' THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Backman is a
masterful writer' KIRKUS REVIEW
