Though I have read/listened to most of Backman‘s other books, the hockey focus here always turned me off- but when the publisher invited me to read the third book in this trilogy AND my book club picked it to discuss, I knew I had to first read the first two books first. And I ended up being totally enraptured by the story of this whole town! The large cast size does slow things down in the beginning, but by the end, I couldn‘t put it down!
