Kira is a talented lawyer, Maya loves her guitar, and Leo his games. Peter, a former professional hockey player, is the General Manager of the Beartown Hockey Club. The Andersson family: Peter, his wife, Kira, their fifteen year old daughter Maya, and their twelve year-old son, Leo. “It doesn’t take a lot to be able to let go of your child. All the characters shine brightly, and you will come to care for them all. It is hard to pinpoint a protagonist in this novel. The hope is that if the town’s team wins the final, money and prosperity might return to the town as a result. Pretty much all it has left is its hockey club. It is about a scandal, and how the people of Beartown are forced to take sides…īeartown is a town that is in economic decline. It is about society, it is about life, parenthood, loyalty, bravery, and so very much more. Beartown is a hockey town, and this book is about hockey. I hate gushy.ĭeep in a forest in Sweden lies a small town called “Beartown”. Where to start? When you absolutely LOVE a book, it is hard to know how to write a review without sounding ‘gushy’. Though, that being said, I did have to add a few of my most favorite quotes at the end of this review. I usually add a few quotes to my reviews, but in this case if I added all the quotes I highlighted in my Kindle, this review would be almost as long as the book itself. “ Beartown” rates as high as “ A man called Ove” in my opinion, so that is high praise indeed coming from me. I have now read everything he has written, and all have been top-notch. It is official! I can honestly say that Fredrik Backman is my favorite author. Fredrik Backman has found the entire world.”
