It goes along the ridge line and is quite flat.
So interesting to see signs of beavers in the woods and their dams in the lake. I think I’ll never get over it. The pond is man-made-but the water is crystal clear and even in August, refreshing on an 80 degree day. Bravo, Mr. Backman! This is a dark and cold town where everyone knows everyone. Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

A hockey team from whom much is expected and demanded, instrumental in defining the identity of a wide array of characters that inhabit this superlative novel, each providing their pivotal piece to the story. Things My Son Needs to Know About the World, his first work of non-fiction, will be released in the US in May 2019.
Hockey is what keeps this small, declining community alive, especially this year, when the junior team is headed for the national semifinals. Bookstore

It is about the complications and difficulties of doing the right thing in the face of those willing to overlook justice and condone the unacceptable for the apparent 'greater good' of the team and the town. We enjoyed a lovely dip in the water. 04/25/2017. Beartown is Backman’s fourth novel, the tale of the eponymous village on the edge of a forest—probably in Backman’s native Sweden—where ice hockey is the favored sport.

He lives in Stockholm, Sweden, with his wife and two children. Late one evening toward the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barreled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone else’s forehead, and pulled the trigger. My educated guess is this: two players go on to become Elite players, one a dad, and one dead. I suppose that he could be featured in the next installment, but given a goalie's impact (and the personality quirks that go with it), it's quite an omission.
