A Novel by Fredrik Backman

Beartown, Sweden is a small town with big dreams.  A hockey town with a declining youth hockey league pins its hopes of redemption on one game.  The story is heavily character driven and follows the players, their families, and the town leading up to two culminating events- the game and the horrific rape of a 15 year old girl.  The novel chronicles the fallout of these events and the consequences they reap.

Now an HBO miniseries.
