The Winners

The long awaited return of Backman’s beloved Beartown series is over! How does a town recover from tragedy or deal with corruption? When do they “protect their own” and what are the consequences of those actions? Two years have passed and everyone has tried to move on in their own way but nothing has worked out the way they hoped. And more change is ahead. Backman writes with great empathy and understanding of the human condition. You won't be able to turn the pages fast enough, even as this puts you through the wringer.
