Winning a junior ice hockey championship might not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy.

At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager’s daughter—and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear.

Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our shoulders.

读后感

用户评价

文字流畅优美，故事简单有力。写尽了人生的一角。

熊镇的人总说自己的身体里流淌着熊之血。后来我们才知道，真正流着熊之血的，并不是那些高声嚎叫的所谓英雄、战士，而是一个个卑微的、正直的、勇敢的普通人。【见长评】

作者写的好有哲学性，充满着对人生的见解，很发人深思呢

好看

作家和歌手一样,某类型的就对我口味,名字就是品质的保证.一样的偏僻落魄小镇,一样的一切都会好的;不一样的是这次更多的各种人性的丑陋和并不是非黑即白的人间世事.小说里人物很多,每个人都有鲜明的个性,开始读的前几天进展很慢,努力记住每个人,以为这是瑞典Beartown的红楼梦
