Us Against You

Description

Look out for ANXIOUS PEOPLE, the new novel by Fredrik Backman, the 13 million copy bestselling author of A Man Called Ove. The captivating and moving follow-up to the international bestseller Beartown.

‘I utterly believed in the residents of Beartown, and felt ripped apart by the events in the book’ Jojo Moyes on Beartown

Can a broken town survive a second tragedy?

By the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead . . .

Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself.

It’s about how people come together – sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love. And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.

Praise for Fredrik Backman:

‘A mature, compassionate novel’ Sunday Times

‘Backman can tickle the funny bone and tug on the heart strings when he needs to, and is a clever enough storyteller to not overindulge in either’ Independent

‘As popular Swedish exports go, Backman is up there with ABBA and Stieg Larsson’ The New York Times Book Review
