Kira keeps going to work, she stays quiet and doesn't go to the conference. Winter arrives at the beginning of Chapter 43, time keeps passing by. Maya encourages him to not "let the bastards see you cry". Teemu and the some of the guys go over to Hogs to help. After the funeral, Amat and Bobo go and play hockey. Hog is already back to work now, he needs a distraction from his broken heart. Peter reflects about when their son died, Hog came over to help. Peter and Kira are living in parallel, not together right now and they are both falling apart. Afterwards, Peter and Kira go for a drive together. Benji, Teemu and Vidar drink a beer together one night.Īt the start of Chapter 42, the town shows up for Ann-Katrin’s funeral. The dynamics have changed for Benji, and he now resumes his tentative friendship with the Pack. Beartown wins its next game, and Vidar defends Benji against an opponent who mocks him for his sexuality.
The hockey season moves on, Amat is on fire. Benji tells him if they fight they won’t be able to play.
At Beartown’s next game, one of the opponents makes fun of Benji so Vidar attacks him. He tells David he is the best coach he ever had. Later that night, Benji shows up at David’s house to return his watch. Having noticed Filip’s hip injury, Zackell recommends a physiotherapist to David. In the referee’s room, David and Zackell talk about Benji and Filip. Everyone is waiting and chanting, “We’ll stand tall if you stand tall!”. In Chapter 41, Peter goes tells the team never to forget what this loss feels like, then tells them to go back on the ice. Benji passes to Amat but, William predicts that he will do this and blocks the shot. Beartown scores a goal, followed quickly by another. Benji returns and leads the team back out to play. Filip one of Hed's best players, goes over and gets them to stop chanting. Benji' sisters and mother are given seats from the five uncles, who rise to stand instead. Meanwhile, Benji hasn't shown up to the game, instead he's in the forest while his sisters/ mom go to the game. Instead, she's her usual blunt self yet she seems to get through to the team. Peter pushes Zackell to give an inspirational speech to the boys. I'm glad this one is complete, though I think Backman is a brilliant writer this book is my least favourite of his works so far.Ĭhapter 39/40 begin with Peter being unable to ignore the chanting at the arena. Today's check-in covers Chapters 39-49 and as always, check the comments below for some questions! Welcome to the final discussion post for Us Against You by Fredrik Backman.
