About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Us Against You by Fredik Backman, read by John Sackville.

A small, broken town sits on the edge of a frozen lake surrounded by a forest, its wounds still raw from a tragedy that tore its fragile community in two.

Beartown has lost its way. Now the cold and dark that surround the snowbound town creep in, and so do new conflicts and tensions. What was once a friendly rivalry with the neighbouring town is beginning to turn sinister and Beartown braces itself for another tragic blow.

How far will the people of Beartown go to preserve their reputations for a second, deadly time?

Us Against You is a spell-binding exposition of small-town life in all its flawed complexity.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Beartown and Fredrik Backman
I utterly believed in the residents of Beartown, and felt ripped apart by the events in the book (Jojo Moyes)
Surrounded by impenetrable forests, it recreates the stifling atmosphere of a dying community. This is a mature, compassionate novel

Backman can tickle the funny bone and tug on the heart strings when he needs to, and is a clever enough storyteller to not overindulge in either
As popular Swedish exports go, Backman is up there with ABBA and Stieg Larsson.
Friday Night Lights for Swedes
A kind of problem play that moves extremely skilfully near the melodramatic without derailing. Its originality is substantial and the book credibly conveys the dual faces of everyday life. An impressive novel, like no other
Praise for Us Against You
A story about families, about friendship and loyalty, inequality, female vulnerability, male back-slapping, and parenthood ... No person's story is too little to be told, Backman includes them all. A novel with a big heart
Evident in all [Backman] novels is an apparent ability to state a truth about humanity with breathtaking elegance
All stars

Frederick Blackman has the ability to draw you in and keep you curious of what's to follow. The story is good, and the narration is very good as well.
It's a good listen if you liked the original "Beartown"

A good follow up to Beartown

Like most of Backman's books, this one starts slow and plodding, but it is very definitely worth sticking with.

Slow start, but pulls you in
