Return to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown with this
"engrossing page-turner" (Woman's World) about first loves, second
chances, and last goodbyes--from the #1 New York Times bestselling
author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove. Over the course of
two weeks, everything in Beartown will change. 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 destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer
storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the
neighboring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought
through their ice hockey teams. Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, two
young people who left in search of a better life, come home and
joyfully reunite with their closest childhood friends. There is a
new sense of optimism and purpose in the town, embodied in the
impressive new ice rink that has been built down by the lake.
Maya's parents, meanwhile, are caught up in an investigation of the
hockey club's murky finances, and Amat--once the star of the
Beartown team--has lost his way after an injury and a failed
attempt to get drafted into the NHL. Simmering tensions between the
two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the
while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated from
this hockey-obsessed community and is determined to take revenge on
the people he holds responsible for his beloved sister's death. He
has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that
is almost more that it can stand. Discover what it means to forgive
with this "hell of a conclusion to an outstanding series"
(Booklist, starred review).
