Book-by-book highlights

Beartown — At the heart of the collection, this novel centers on a small town that pins its hopes on a youth hockey team. Backman examines the costs of ambition and loyalty with a gripping story about secrets, sacrifice, and the dark side of community pressure. It’s an excellent pick for book clubs and readers who appreciate moral dilemmas and vivid character studies.

The Winner — Continuing the arc that begins in Beartown, this installment follows the town’s recovery and the individuals striving to rebuild lives shaken by scandal and loss. It deepens emotional stakes and explores how communities heal — or fracture — under pressure.

Us Against You — Picking up where The Winner left off, this sequel delves into the long-term repercussions of past events. Rivalries intensify, loyalties are tested, and new alliances emerge. Readers will find rich, layered storytelling that asks what matters most when a town’s identity is at stake.

Anxious People — A tonal departure from Beartown, this standalone novel is a poignant, often funny tale about a group of strangers caught in a hostage situation. Through warm, surprising connections, Backman explores empathy, human flaws, and the funny — and heartbreaking — ways people relate to one another.
