The Winners by Fredrik Backman Book Summary

Return to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown with this “engrossing page-turner” (Woman’s World) about first loves, second chances, and last goodbyes—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove.

Over the course of two weeks, everything in Beartown will change.

Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there’s something about this place that prevents it. The destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed, a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams.

Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, two young people who left in search of a better life, come home and joyfully reunite with their closest childhood friends. There is a new sense of optimism and purpose in the town, embodied in the impressive new ice rink that has been built down by the lake.

Maya’s parents, meanwhile, are caught up in an investigation of the hockey club’s murky finances, and Amat—once the star of the Beartown team—has lost his way after an injury and a failed attempt to get drafted into the NHL. Simmering tensions between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated from this hockey-obsessed community and is determined to take revenge on the people he holds responsible for his beloved sister’s death. He has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that is almost more that it can stand.

Discover what it means to forgive with this “hell of a conclusion to an outstanding series” (Booklist, starred review).

Epic. Epic is what this is.

Raw with Honesty. I really enjoyed this third book about Bear Town, Hed, and the people that inhabit those towns. I think the themes easily translate to any reader that understands smaller towns and the sports that keep them going. I have thoroughly enjoyed all three books. Thanks Mr. Backman for tackling the hard and ugly parts of High School sports and for creating Maya and her deeply honest walk through the worst that can happen.

I will miss Beartown. Mr. Blackman, with The Winners, has completed his Beartown trilogy. Books I expect I will reread many times, and will recommend to anyone and everyone. The Winners concludes the trilogy in a way I feel is true to the story, but my heart will forever feel a little broken by. I will miss this town, these people, and I will hope that Mr. Backman will find the need to return to Beartown and allow us a chance to return in the future.

Totally Compelling. A unique writer’s voice that charms and weaves a complex web of personal stories, both tragic and triumphant.

Had me glued.. I read the series and in my opinion, this was the best one. They just kept getting better!

Wonderful!. The Beartown trilogy is simply, the best. Sorry there’s no more.

Done!. Reread first two books of trilogy just recently. While I liked them, this one plodded on relentlessly. Needs a lot of editing to remove unnecessary, repetitive lines. Never got truly caught up in this book. Relieved it’s over. Wanted to quit reading it but stayed til the bitter end. Disappointing.

Wow. What an epic way to finish the story of Hed and Beartown and all those who live, love, and die there. I’ve Often found the third books in trilogies to be the weakest of the series, not this one. It is the best.

A nice finish to the trilogy. A thought provoking, emotional finish to the Bear town saga.

The book would be 50% shorter if they removed the word “hockey”.. This book was a hard read for me. Too long and a lot of repetitive writing. The book would be 50% shorter if they removed the word “hockey”.

One of the best books I’ve read.. Plot, character development and foreshadowing all combine with the authors words to tell a story of deep love found almost everywhere. And what happens when love isn’t there.
