Fredrik Backman Livres

Dans le lotissement où il vit depuis quarante ans, Ove est connu pour être un râleur de la pire espèce. Et maintenant qu'il ne travaille plus, il se sent seul et inutile.

Corde au cou, debout dans le salon, il est prêt à passer à l'acte... Mais l'arrivée de nouveaux voisins et d'un chat abandonné va contrecarrer ses plans. Interrompant sans le savoir ses différentes tentatives de suicide, ceux-ci vont peu à peu pousser Ove dans ses derniers retranchements et le ramener à la vie ! Tel un chat de gouttière amoché et craintif, à la fois drôle et touchant, Ove réveille l'instinct protecteur qui sommeille en chacun de nous. Mais attention, il griffe !

Meanwhile, Elisabeth Zackell, a former pro-athlete, is appointed as the new coach and begins to assemble a team featuring Amat, the fastest player; Benji, the unpredictable lone wolf; and Vidar, a troublemaker.

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.
