About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Against You by Fredik Backman, read by John Sackville.

A small, broken town sits on the edge of a frozen lake surrounded by a forest, its wounds still raw from a tragedy that tore its fragile community in two.

Beartown has lost its way. Now the cold and dark that surround the snowbound town creep in, and so do new conflicts and tensions. What was once a friendly rivalry with the neighbouring town is beginning to turn sinister and Beartown braces itself for another tragic blow.

How far will the people of Beartown go to preserve their reputations for a second, deadly time?

Us Against You is a spell-binding exposition of small-town life in all its flawed complexity.

Loved it, like I love all of Backman’s books.
So great to read books with wonderful, neurodivergent characters, beautiful prose that make your heart & emotions soar and sink in equal measure.
He makes me want to write.

Beautifully narrated by JS too.

Second book in the Beartown trilogy

Complex, insightful, not always an easy listen but well worth it. I loved A Man Called Ove. This is very different but I won't stop now until I've tracked down all his books

Loved every minute. Backman is a genius when it comes to writing characters you really care about.

Excellent sequal

This sequel to Beartown doesn’t disappoint - Fredrick Backman’s detached descriptive style ensures the emotional storylines pack a punch. The audio performance is also top notch - highly recommend if you want a relatively easy listen which is none the less thought provoking.

Worthwhile Sequel

I always adore Fredrik's books, but this series is just. just. unbelievable. I don't care about hockey, and I am not a fan of emotional drama but I could not put it down.

oh my GOD

Deceptively simple, straightforward writing bringing out anything but simple human lives woven in and around each other. A community glued together by ice hockey BUT don’t be put off if you have no idea about ice hockey. You don’t need to. I still don’t. However, if you like the reality of humans and community without mawkish sentiment and angst but oh - so - truthful, then I totally recommend this, just brace yourself for bursts of OTT bad language. I’m off to find out if there’s another about Beartown.

Hopeful, candid, ultimately uplifting.

The characters so in-depth, interesting and real, not like the the two dimensional characters in most fiction.
