The Afternoon Page Turners discuss Beartown: A Novel by Fredrik Backman on Wednesday, August 26 at 2 p.m. Free and open to all! Annual registration is requested to receive important communications about schedule or location changes.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People, a dazzling and profound novel about a small town with a big dream—and the price required to make it come true.
“Lest readers think hockey is the star here, it’s Backman’s rich characters that steal the show, and his deft handling of tragedy and its effects on an insular town. While the story is dark at times, love, sacrifice, and the bonds of friendship and family shine through ultimately offering hope and even redemption.” ― Publishers Weekly
“Backman is the Dickens of our age, and though you’ll cry, your heart is safe in his hands.” ― Green Valley News (Arizona)
