Page Turners – Beartown by Frederick Backman

Page Turners’ November book is Beartown by
Frederick Backman. Backman will be familiar to many as the author of his highly successful earlier novel, A Man Called Ove. Beartown, according to the publisher, is “a dazzling, profound novel about a small town with a big dream—and the price required to make it come true.” Publishers Weekly states, “It’s Backman’s rich characters that steal the show, and his deft handling of tragedy and its effects on an insular town. While the story is dark at times, love, sacrifice, and the bonds of friend- ship and family shine through, ultimately offering hope and even redemption.”
In Page Turners we do read a wide variety of books and have wonderful discussions. For information on the Thursday afternoon group please contact Steve and Ann Morris at samwrsi@cox.net and for the Monday afternoon group con-
