Beartown backman7/6/2023 ![]() But when their star player commits a terrible crime the town is divided – did he really do it? Is it really his fault? And should his alleged actions go unpunished for the greater good of the team and the town? What follows is an examination of the issue from about 35 different perspectives, all from characters with similar sounding names. ![]() The town is in decline – industry is waning, people are leaving but those who are left all have one thing in common – a fierce love for their ice hockey team. So apologies in advance if my review makes no sense – I’m still trying to process my thoughts.īeartown or The Scandal (christ, even the name is confusing) is set in a small town in a Sweedish forest. It took me ages to read and because I didn’t fully connect with the storyline I really wasn’t sure how to review it. I’ve been putting off writing this review for a really long time because I thought I’d love this book but I just couldn’t get into it. Similar to: All of Backman’s other work like A Man Called Ove.Ĭould be enjoyed by: Fans of ice hockey or overly wordy fiction ![]() (Originally published as The Scandal in hardback) ![]()
