About the Book

This is a small story about big questions. It's a story about family, community, and life itself. It starts with a storm, and a death. But how does it end? Two years have passed since the events that no one in Beartown wants to think about, yet the town cannot quite move on. The ice rink still stands at the centre of everything, and the old rivalries between Beartown and Hed simmer beneath the surface. As new threats emerge and old wounds resurface, the residents are forced to confront what it truly means to belong somewhere, and what they are willing to give up to protect the people and places they love. Backman's signature style shines throughout: sharp, funny, tender, and devastating in equal measure. He moves effortlessly between multiple characters and generations, showing how one small town's fate is shaped by the choices of ordinary people under extraordinary pressure. As the final instalment in the Beartown trilogy, The Winners brings years of storylines to a satisfying, heart-wrenching close, addressing themes of grief, forgiveness, masculinity, and hope. It's a fitting end to one of contemporary fiction's most beloved sagas, cementing Backman's reputation as one of the finest storytellers writing today.
