The Winners - Fredrik Backman
Release Date: September 27, 2022
This is the third in the Beartown trilogy about the lives of residents in two rival communities where hockey rules. Although I hadn’t read the first two, I did not feel at a disadvantage reading The Winners.
Beautifully written, it explores the connections among people within a community, traversing the full range of human emotions and behaviors.
A long book, the writing style and thought provoking prose do not allow for a fast read. That is not a negative. The reader will want to ponder many of the ideas expressed in this deeply affecting tome. It is a story that will stay with me for quite a while.
A five star read.
Thanks to #Netgalley and #Atriabooks for the ARC.
