Us Against You

by Fredrik Backman

Us Against You

by Fredrik Backman

In the deeply forested town of Beartown, where the chill of winter lingers and the pride of community is woven through the threads of an ice hockey team, the threat of dissolution hangs heavy. The cherished team faces potential disbandment, leaving the town’s spirit fractured. Enter an enigmatic newcomer with a surprising appointment as the new coach, ready to fuel a comeback that the town desperately needs. Around the enticing speed of Amat, the fierce solitude of Benji, the submission of Bobo, and the rebellious streak of Vidar, a new team begins to emerge. The melding of individuality into a collective force is fraught with the pains of broken old bonds and the tentative forging of new ones, while the rivalry with neighboring Hed intensifies into a cauldron of contempt and dangerous pranks. With the awaited game on the horizon, the fabric of the community is stained by aggressive mischief, culminating in a tragedy that leaves Beartown questioning if the innocence of the sport can ever be regained. 'Us Against You' is a profound chronicle of loyalty, friendship, and the battles we face in the pursuit of unity.
