Us Against You
by Fredrik Backman
I’ve read nearly all of Backman’s novels and each one has brought me to tears at some point. He develops such complex and real characters and I found myself understanding the motivations of even the characters who are presented as villains. Us Against You does a really good job of building on the characters we meet in Beartown. I think this novel was so relevant in the divided world we live in today - the reader, from the outside, can see that there isn’t so much that’s different between the communities of Beartown and Hed, but naturally things always look different from the outside. Backman’s characters really show how that divisiveness can grow and how forces behind the curtain can influence public thought.
