The Winners, Fredrik Backman’s long-awaited conclusion to the beloved New York Times bestselling Beartown series which inspired an HBO series of the same name, follows the small hockey town’s residents as they grapple with change, pain, hope, and redemption.
When destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed, simmering tensions between the two communities escalate, forcing residents to grapple with questions of friendship, loyalty, loss, and identity.
The Winners beautifully captures all the complexities of daily life while asking us to reconsider what it means to win, what it means to lose, and what it means to forgive.

Most people don’t even notice the three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. The average viewer thinks it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. As she embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be, and gets closer to the artwork’s birthplace, she grows increasingly nervous about what she’ll find out. Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect in this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art.
