Beartown

Frederik Backman is a master of storytelling and is currently one of my favourite authors.

In this book we are introduced to Beartown, a small town in the forest with a passion for hockey. The junior ice hockey team is competing in the national semi-finals and have an opportunity to win, which brings hope of a brighter future to the community.

We are introduced to a different set of characters, each one of them facing their fears and demons. Through their eyes we also learn about the community and, ultimately, humanity.

This book includes difficult topics and felt heavier than other Frederik's books but I loved it.
