Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Against You by Fredik Backman, read by John Sackville.
A small, broken town sits on the edge of a frozen lake surrounded by a forest, its wounds still raw from a tragedy that tore its fragile community in two.
Beartown has lost its way. Now the cold and dark that surround the snowbound town creep in, and so do new conflicts and tensions. What was once a friendly rivalry with the neighbouring town is beginning to turn sinister and Beartown braces itself for another tragic blow.
How far will the people of Beartown go to preserve their reputations for a second, deadly time?
Us Against You is a spell-binding exposition of small-town life in all its flawed complexity.

Second book in the Beartown trilogy
Loved it, like I love all of Backman’s books.
So great to read books with wonderful, neurodivergent characters, beautiful prose that make your heart & emotions soar and sink in equal measure.
He makes me want to write.
Beautifully narrated by JS too.

Brilliant
Complex, insightful, not always an easy listen but well worth it. I loved A Man Called Ove. This is very different but I won't stop now until I've tracked down all his books

Worthwhile Sequel
This sequel to Beartown doesn’t disappoint - Fredrick Backman’s detached descriptive style ensures the emotional storylines pack a punch. The audio performance is also top notch - highly recommend if you want a relatively easy listen which is none the less thought provoking.

An observation of life and relationships
Loved this. A gentle story dealing with significsnt life events and how this affects the wider community. All with the back drop of ice hockey.
This is the 4th book I've read by the author, who is becoming one of my favourites. Good narration, and hard to put down.

A wonderful story
A super story, beautifully told. The author has an incredible ability to blend a thoughtful narrative and lines of such resonance with a great story.
