Winning a junior ice hockey championship might not mean a lot to the average person, but it means everything to the residents of Beartown, a community slowly being eaten alive by unemployment and the surrounding wilderness. A victory like this would draw national attention to the ailing town: it could attract government funding and an influx of talented athletes who would choose Beartown over the big nearby cities. A victory like this would certainly mean everything to Amat, a short, scrawny teenager who is treated like an outcast everywhere but on the ice; to Kevin, a star player just on the cusp of securing his golden future in the NHL; and to Peter, their dedicated general manager whose own professional hockey career ended in tragedy.
At first, it seems like the team might have a shot at fulfilling the dreams of their entire town. But one night at a drunken celebration following a key win, something happens between Kevin and the general manager’s daughter—and the next day everything seems to have changed. Accusations are made and, like ripples on a pond, they travel through all of Beartown, leaving no resident unaffected. With so much riding on the success of the team, the line between loyalty and betrayal becomes difficult to discern. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear.
Fredrik Backman knows that we are forever shaped by the places we call home, and in this emotionally powerful, sweetly insightful story, he explores what can happen when we carry the heavy weight of other people's dreams on our shoulders.
啥,我竟然之前没读过这位叫弗雷德里克·巴克曼的瑞典作家的书?读到 200 页左右的时候我傻眼了,那正是我读得欲罢不能,心里想“不行,我得读完这本再干别的”的时候。我快速地翻了一下,这位作家的几部有名的作品《外婆的道歉信》《一个欧维的男人决定去死》《清单人生》确实...
评分人群是最温暖的,人群也是最残忍的。 生活在寒冷国度的人会比热带丛林的人更深地体会这个道理。在寒冷的国度,只有抱团才能生存。寒冷让一次喝醉都具有剥夺生命的力量,让冰封的湖面成为捕猎落单者的陷阱。当日光变短,黑暗渐渐拉长、接近无限,夜晚的寒意逼近零下三十度,我们...
作者写的好有哲学性,充满着对人生的见解,很发人深思呢
评分好看
评分这是有关一个小镇和它的一些居民的成长故事。????是小镇的名字,是小镇的象征;冰球,这项看起来美妙又狂暴的运动,是它的凝聚力、支柱和期望。这里有童话般的白雪、森林和湖泊,也有让人变得渺小的秘密,和让人变得丑陋的邪恶。你可以批评故事的结局宛若童话,但我们人类太脆弱,时不时是需要一点鼓励的。
评分有一点刻意了哦…
