Us Against You
by Fredrik Backman
I really liked this book. I have not read the first Beartown book, so I didn’t know anything about the author or his style. He has a clear, unique voice, with poetic choppy sentences. About 3/4 through the book, I started feeling it was too long, but I came around by the end, and now feel it was just right. He had to lay enough groundwork to allow him enough thread to pull it together towards the end. It is about the poetic struggle of life in a small town. Very moving book; I teared up a number of times during the last few chapters. I highly recommend it.
