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
Customer Reviews
Loved with a tear and a full heart
Soo much love for this writing and this book
You fall in love amd respect each character. You struggle when they struggle and you stand tall when they stand tall.
Awesome
Awesome sequel to Beartown. Because I knew the characters I found it took no time at all to get into the story.
Read it in one day and finished with tears on my cheeks. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. Frederick Backman writes awesome books with outstandingly quirky characters that move you, make you laugh and make you think about your own life.
Good read - emotional roller coaster
Not as great as Beartown, but definitely worth a read. You get torn between loving and hating the characters. The characters are multi-faceted and represent everything good and wrong with humanity.
