Beartown
Do you and your father bond over sports? Then give him the latest bestseller from Swedish author Frederik Backman (A Man Called Ove), about the Bears of Beartown, a high school hockey team poised on the edge of greatness, who serve as a rallying point for an entire little town in a big forest…until their star player’s overwhelming sense of privilege threatens to ruin everything. As in Bachman’s previous books, the Swedish setting and details are charming but almost irrelevant to his handling of the universal threads that bind together indviduals into communities and families. In this case, he also does a brilliant job of exploring the competing loyalties of these players to their team-mates, the sporting tradition, and their most basic human values. Because as Backman himself warns in the book, “Never trust people who don’t have something in their lives that they love beyond all reason.” These are the life-changing books everyone should read this year.
