Krátky popis
From the New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove, My
Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry, and Britt-Marie Was
Here, comes a poignant, charming novel about a forgotten town
fractured by scandal, and the amateur hockey team that might just
change everything. Winning a junior ice hockey championship might
not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to
the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by
unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this
would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract
government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would
choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this
would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager
who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice, to Kevin,
a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the
NHL, and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own
professional hockey career ended in tragedy. 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 between Kevin and the general manager's
daughter--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. Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever
shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally
powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen
when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our
shoulders.
