Overview
This four-book paperback collection brings together Fredrik Backman's acclaimed adult fiction in one set: the complete Beartown trilogy—Beartown, Us Against You, and The Winners—plus his standalone favorite, Anxious People. Backman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, is known for weaving humor, heartbreak, and sharp social insight into stories about ordinary people facing extraordinary pressure. The Beartown books follow a small hockey-obsessed Swedish town as loyalty, grief, and community collide, while Anxious People offers a warmer, wit-driven look at strangers thrown together during a crisis. This set rewards readers who love character-driven contemporary fiction.

About the Books
Fredrik Backman built the Beartown series around a small town that pours its identity into its junior hockey team, then cracks wide open when a crime shatters that devotion. Beartown, the trilogy's opener, follows the town's players, coaches, and families through a night that changes everything, forcing residents to choose between protecting the team's reputation and standing up for the truth. Us Against You follows the fallout, as Beartown's club faces elimination and rivalries with neighboring Hed turn dangerous, testing how far people will go for the sport and community they love. The Winners closes the trilogy years later, bringing themes of grief, loyalty, and reconciliation to a resonant close. Anxious People, outside the Beartown world, showcases Backman's range with a wry, warm-hearted story about a botched bank robbery that becomes a hostage situation full of strangers hiding their own anxieties.
