Us Against You tells the story of the months after the terrible events that shook Beartown last spring. Best friends Maya and Ana spend the summer on a hidden island, trying to leave the world behind, but nothing goes as they hope. Beartown and neighbouring Hed's rivalry grows into a furious struggle for money, power, and survival that explodes as their hockey teams meet. When a player's most closely guarded secret is revealed, a whole community is forced to show what it really wants to stand for.
They will say that violence came to Beartown that year, but it will be a lie. The violence was already there.
Fredrik Backman's Us Against You, the stand alone sequel to Beartown, is a powerful depiction of the poignant and striking relationships of a small town. It's a story about loyalty, friendship, and a love that challenges everything.

Anmeldelser
«Evident in all [Backman] novels is an apparent ability to state a truth about humanity with breathtaking elegance (Kirkus Reviews)»
«Backman is the Dickens of our age, and though you'll cry, your heart is safe in his hands (Green Valley News, Arizona)»
«A light hearted, deeply moving novel about a grumpy but loveable curmudgeon who finds his solitary world (CBS Local)»
«Mr. Backman cements his standing as a writer of astonishing depth and proves that he also has very broad range plus the remarkable ability to make you understand the feelings of each of a dozen different characters. . . . The story is fully packed with wise insights into the human experience causing characters and readers to ponder life's great question of who we are, what we hope to be and how we should lead our lives (The Washington Times)»
«Backman's ability to tell stories in pictures is one of his strongest merits, not least how he describes relationships . . . It's rare that one cares about so many characters in a book, and seldom that one comes so close to a whole community. But the leading role in Backman's novels about Beartown is, after all, played by the sports community. It's a love declaration of the highest order (Göteborgs-Posten, Sweden)»
