Book
Beartown : a novel / Fredrik Backman; translated from the Swedish by Neil Smith.
"Winning a junior ice hockey championship means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment. A victory would could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear."-- Provided by publisher.
