Step into the atmospheric town of Beartown, where ice hockey is not just a sport, but a lifeline for the community. In this emotionally charged tale, Backman delves deep into the hopes, dreams, and secrets of a small town on the edge.

Through vivid prose and complex character development, Backman explores themes of loyalty, friendship, and the sacrifices individuals are willing to make to protect what they hold dear.

Continuing the gripping saga of Beartown, Us Against You takes readers back to the town on the brink of collapse. As old alliances crumble and new rivalries emerge, the community is torn apart, leaving its inhabitants grappling with grief, vengeance, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. Backman skillfully weaves together the lives of his characters, portraying their struggles and resilience against a backdrop of social upheaval and personal tragedy. With raw emotion and profound insight, this sequel offers a masterful exploration of the power of unity, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.

In The Winners, Backman takes a departure from the ice rinks and small towns, offering a collection of short stories that celebrate the beauty of ordinary lives. Through a diverse array of characters and narratives, Backman effortlessly captures the extraordinary moments hidden within everyday existence.

Prepare to be enchanted as Backman reminds us that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.

Prepare to be swept away by a captivating blend of comedy and compassion in Anxious People. When a failed bank robbery turns into an unexpected hostage situation, an eclectic group of strangers finds themselves bound together in a most extraordinary way. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, Backman masterfully explores the intricacies of human behaviour, delving into themes of forgiveness, empathy, and the profound connections that can be forged in the unlikeliest of circumstances. With his trademark wit and insightful storytelling, Backman crafts a tale that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately reflect on what it truly means to be human.

In the Fredrik Backman 4 Books Collection, readers will embark on a transformative journey through the highs and lows of human existence. Backman's ability to capture the essence of his characters and paint a vivid portrait of their lives is unparalleled.

Description from the Publisher:

Beartown
In a large Swedish forest, Beartown hides a dark secret . . .
Cut off from everywhere else, it experiences the kind of isolation that tears people apart.
And each year, more and more of the town is swallowed by the forest.
Then the town is offered a bright new future.
But it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act.
It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten and those who'll risk the future to see justice done.
Who will speak up?
Could you stand by and stay silent?
Or would you risk everything for justice?
Which side would you be on?

Us Against You
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.

The Winners
This is a small story about big questions.
It's a story about family, community, life.
It starts with a storm - and a death.
But how does it end?
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 residents continue to grapple with life’s big questions: What is a family? What is a community? And what, if anything, are we willing to sacrifice in order to protect them?
As the locals of Beartown struggle to overcome the past, great change is on the horizon. Someone is coming home after a long time away. Someone will be laid to rest. Someone will fall in love, someone will try to fix their marriage, and someone will do anything to save their children. Someone will submit to hate, someone will fight, and someone will grab a gun and walk towards the ice rink.
So what are the residents of Beartown willing to sacrifice for their home?

Everything.

Anxious People
It's New Year's Eve and House Tricks estate agents are hosting an open viewing in an up-market apartment when an incompetent bank robber rushes in and politely takes everyone hostage.
For Anna-Lena and Roger, busy buying-up apartments to fill the hole in their marriage, it's something else to talk about.
For Julia and Ro, panicky parents-to-be, it's yet another worry.
Lonely bank manager Zara only came here for the view.
While 87-year-old grandmother Estelle seems rather pleased by the company . . .
As the police gather outside, the anxious strangers huddled within try to make the best of a very sticky situation - but could it be that they have a whole lot more in common than meets the eye
