RE: Beartown by Fredrick Backman- Book Review
Small towns are treasure troves for close-knit groups and lots of small talk and gossip. Everyone knows everyone else and everything they are doing. It's somewhat comical. Nice review.
I agree with you that I wouldn't keep it in my library.
Looking forward to Jane Eyre!
I would definitely agree that the familiarity in small towns does breed its own comedy set but I much prefer the smaller towns. There's always a story to be had and history seems to be closer.
I'm looking forward to Jane Eyre too! It's a favorite so I hope I do it justice.
Yes, the history around small and old towns is fascinating. I love exploring all of the buildings! Especially if they have basements or are connected to other buildings underground.
