Kurben - are you familiar with Fredrik Backman? Someone in my book club selected his novel Beartown for our April book.
Have actually not read him..... Know of him though. His most well known is probably A man Called Ove which was richly praised. Beartown (Björnstad in swedish) has, i heard, a more serious note. Smalltown in northern sweden where the towns team (a hockeyteam) means everything. Go for it i say. And then tell me what you think!!
A Man Called Ove was okay. Nothing world beating, but okay. Pleasant.
Since it's not quite April yet, I still haven't read Beartown, but I did just finish A Man Called Ove. I enjoyed it but it reminded me of several other books, and what were supposed to be twists, I'd already figured out. But charming, in it's way.
