Beartown
(Book)

Near the lake in Beartown there is an ice rink, and on the rink Kevin, Amat, Benji and the rest of the Junior ice hockey team is about to compete in the national semifinal; and, in fact, have a chance to win. All the hopes and dreams of this place now rest on the shoulders of a group of teenagers. Under the heavy burden, the match becomes the catalyst for a violent act that will leave a young woman traumatized and a town in turmoil. Accusations are made and, like waves in a pond, they travel through Beartown. This is the story of a town and a game, but even more, a story about loyalty, commitment and the responsibilities of friendship; of the people we disappoint even though we love them; and the decisions we make every day and define us. In this story about a small town in the woods, Fredrik Backman has found the whole world.
