Love Backman’s writing style, almost poetic at times. He’s able to write from so many characters’ perspectives without it being confusing. Each character stands so plainly in my mind. I never thought I’d read a book about hockey, but it’s really not about hockey. It’s a look at humanity as a whole through the lens of a small town.
