The novel Us against you tells the story of the months following the events that shook Beartown in the previous book. Best friends Maya and Ana spend their summer on a remote island, trying to leave the whole world behind, but nothing turns out the way they hoped.
The rivalry between Beartown and the neighbouring town of Hed escalates into a fierce battle for money, power and survival, which erupts in full force when the two ice hockey clubs clash. At the same time, a young player's secret comes to light, forcing the entire town to show what it is really made of. People will say that violence came to Beartown that year, but that is not true. The violence had already been there for a long time.
The novel Us against you sensitively portrays destructive human relationships in a small town. It is a story of loyalty, friendship and love that is not afraid to face anything.
Reviews for Us against you:
"Backman is a modern-day Dickens, and even though he makes you cry, your heart is safe with him."

Fredrik Backman
(born 1981) comes from Stockholm, and regularly writes columns for Swedish newspapers and his blog. He shot to fame with his very first novel, A Man Called Ove, in 2012 (Czech edition by Host, 2014), published alongside the book Things My Son Needs to Know about the World (2012, Czech edition by Host, 2017). Backman's books are published in forty-three countries, with over 7.5 million copies sold. The English translation of A Man Called Ove has spent over a year near the top of The New York Times bestseller list, as has the German edition on Der Spiegel's bestseller list. The film adaptation of the same name premiered in the Czech Republic in November 2016 and received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The Host publishing house also released Backman's novels My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises (2015) and Britt-Marie Was Here (2016). The author's latest book is the sequel to Beartown, which is scheduled for Czech release in autumn 2018.
