Beartown by Fredrik Backman starts of with a lot of characters and a lot of hockey. Somewhere along the way, the characters and the background fade, and people emerge. The story remains about ice hockey, but not in the way you might imagine. The story becomes about the question about how far a person, a set of people, or a town will go to put club above all. As with Fredrik Backman's other books, the people and the emotions take over, and I read furiously until the end to find out the answer.
