While the story is dark at times, love, sacrifice, and the bonds of friendship and family shine through ultimately offering hope and even redemption.” (Publishers Weekly)\n \n“The sentimentally savvy Backman...takes a sobering and solemn look at the ways alienation and acceptance, ethics and emotions nearly destroy a small town and young people.” (Booklist)\n SUMMARY:BookTalk Reviews Beartown STATUS:CONFIRMED LOCATION:West Bloomfield Township Public Library - 4600 Walnut Lake Rd.\,West Bloomfield\,MI\,48323 CONTACT:\;;(248) 682-2120\; CATEGORIES:COMMUNITY EVENT END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
