Beartown - Fredrik Backman

In a large Swedish forest Beartown hides a dark secret . . .

n n Cut-off from everywhere else it experiences the kind of isolation that tears people apart. n n And each year more and more of the town is swallowed by the forest. n n Then the town is offered a bright new future.

n n But it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act. n n It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk everything to see justice done. n n Who will speak up?

n n Could you stand by and stay silent? n n Or would you risk everything for justice? n n Which side would you be on?
