Fiction. Literature. HTML:A breathtaking new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove, The Winners returns to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown for a story about first loves, second chances, and last goodbyes.
Over the course of two weeks, everything in Beartown will change.

Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, two young people who left in search of a life far from the forest town, come home and joyfully reunite with their closest childhood friends. There is a new sense of optimism and purpose in the town, embodied in the impressive new ice rink that has been built down by the lake.

Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there's something about this place that prevents it. The destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams.

Maya's parents, Peter and Kira, are caught up in an investigation of the hockey club's murky finances, and Amatâ??once the star of the Beartown teamâ??has lost his way after an injury and a failed attempt to get drafted into the NHL. Simmering tensions between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated from this hockey-obsessed community and is determined to take revenge on the people he holds responsible for his beloved sister's death. He has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that is almost more that it can stand.

As it beautifully captures all the complexities of daily life and explores questions of friendship, loyalty, loss, and identity, this emotion-packed novel asks us to reconsider what it means to win, what it means to lose, and what it means to fo

I was really looking forward to this book and after a gripping start, I found much of it dragged as it rehashed aspects of the two previous books. It really could have been much shorter and I got tired of the moralistic voice of the narrator. The climax is devastating and proved to be a tear jerker. I am glad I have completed the series but not sure I nt to read more of Backman's writing. ( )

Nearly 700 pages long. It basically included information from previous Beartown books to correlate with what is currently happening and even gave us clues as to what will happen to the main characters. A thoughtful, readable book that instilled hope in the rival communities of Beartown and Hed. It instilled hope in the two towns to enjoy a friendly rivalry instead of a blood-thirsty rivalry. It brought a conclusion to the lives of those involved in all the Beartown novels. Kirkus: ife continues haltingly for the inhabitants of Beartown and its rival borough, Hed.As in the two earlier books in this series (Beartown, 2017; Us Against You, 2018), things are never settled between these two hockey-obsessed towns in the forests of Sweden. Only one can seemingly do well at a time¥resourcewise or hockeywise; the two are interchangeableÂ¥and their residents share a mutual, pathological hatred. Beloved characters return, new ones are introduced, tragedy is promised. Backman repeatedly tells the reader about his characters? overwhelming love for each other, but their ability to actually care for one another comes and goes with the demands of the unwieldy plot. He wants to assure readers that this makes his characters complex, but it really renders them pawns. To stoke the conflict between the towns, he includes not only the pregnancy-ending factory accident of a nameless woman (ushering in a suspiciously out-of-place anti-abortion sentiment), but also the murder of a beloved dog. These machinations are not alone in being soppy and unearned. The book is almost 700 pages long and covers only a two-week span. Backman writes with wit and sincerity and is a talented web-spinner, but with a tale this long, the lack of nuance becomes grating. There?s also a brief ?not all men? message that, given the toxic nature of the narrative, is hard to ignore.A moralistic noir masquerading as a heart-warmer.

I highly recommend this book and its predecessors in the Beartown series. They are on my favorites list of best reads for all time.
The setting and plotting are extraordinary, characters were extremely complex and real. This is not a book about hockey or small towns. It is a book about people with all of their beauty and faults. It's about relationships that grow through the pain, and others that fall apart. The complexity is startling. Backman's observations about people and their relationships is simply deeper than most literature I have read.
Read these books. You will not be disappointed. ( )

You'll laugh, you'll wheep, you'll cheer for Beartown. A hard but oh so gratifying ending for our beloved Beartown family, you'll even find a few Hed residents to like. ( )

This is the moment my heart breaks. The moment I have to say goodbye to all of my favorite characters from Beartown and Hed. I'm going to miss them. ( )
