It’s left one family shattered, more shunned than supported, and held responsible for the town’s troubles, while others seem to return to normal. Us Against You picks up almost where Beartown left off its townspeople are still very much coming to terms with what happened and dealing with the fallout. Either way, go and read Beartown then come back to Us Against You.) (I think you could read this as a stand-alone but why would you want to read one book about Beartown when you could read two?! Get them both and read them one after another or leave this one a little while in order to savour the anticipation of there being more to come. And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life. It’s about how people come together – sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love. Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself. ![]() ![]() Fredrick Backman’s Beartown was a firm favourite* among the books I read last year, so I was very happy to see him return to that ice hockey town in a large Swedish forest in Us Against You.Ĭan a broken town survive a second tragedy?īy the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead. ![]()
