Us Against You by Fredrik Backman
5.0

A story about hockey and yet so much more, I was absolutely blown away by the amount of emotion and energy that Backman manages to put into this follow up to Beartown. Yes, it helps if you have read Beartown but you don't need to. All will be explained.
I read a review that describes Backman as a modern day Dickens and I have to say that I agree; his characters are richly detailed and empathetically written, you find yourself rooting for everyone - even when they are on different sides. The situations are real and believable, what would you do in the name of family?
