Backman’s storytelling is incredible & nuanced.
A gritty novel that shows the reality of rape culture, how misogyny is passed down through generations, and how nothing is ever black and white in the face of evil.
Beartown is bleak and the people aren’t always progressive, but there are many moments that unleash light on humanity. On the power of a cup of coffee and the smell of cherry blossoms in the air.
