داستان The Winners دو سال پس از وقایع کتاب قبلی روایت میشود. در طی دو هفته، همه چیز در شهر «بیرتاون» تغییر خواهد کرد. بازگشت «مایا اندرسون» و «بنجی اوویچ» به خانه، شور و امیدی تازه در شهر ایجاد میکند، در حالی که والدین مایا درگیر رسوایی مالی باشگاه هاکی هستند. از سوی دیگر، طوفان تابستانی ویرانگر، رقابت کهنه میان بیرتاون و شهر همسایه، «هد»، را دوباره شعلهور میسازد. تنشها به خشونت کشیده میشود و پسر چهاردهسالهایی که از جامعه طرد شده، تصمیم به انتقام میگیرد.
The long-awaited conclusion to the beloved New York Times bestselling and “engrossing” (People) 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 .
Return to the close-knit, resilient community of Beartown with this “engrossing page-turner” (Woman’s World) about first loves, second chances, and last goodbyes .
Over the course of two weeks, everything in Beartown will change. Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there’s something about this place that prevents it . The destruction caused by a ferocious late-summer storm reignites the old rivalry between Beartown and the neighboring town of Hed—a rivalry which has always been fought through their ice hockey teams .
Maya Andersson and Benji Ovich, two young people who left in search of a better life, come home and joyfully reunite with their closest childhood friends . There is a new sense of optimism and purpose in the town, embodied in the impressive new ice rink that has been built down by the lake . Maya’s parents, meanwhile, are caught up in an investigation of the hockey club’s murky finances, and Amat—once the star of the Beartown team—has lost his way after an injury and a failed attempt to get drafted into the NHL .
Simmering tensions between the two towns turn into acts of intimidation and then violence. All the while, a fourteen-year-old boy grows increasingly alienated from this hockey-obsessed community and is determined to take revenge on the people he holds responsible for his beloved sister’s death. He has a pistol and a plan that will leave Beartown with a loss that is almost more than it can stand .
Discover what it means to forgive with this “hell of a conclusion to an outstanding series” (Booklist, starred review) .
