I utterly believed in the residents of Beartown and felt ripped apart by the events in the book'
JOJO MOYES, bestselling author of Me Before You '
Surrounded by impenetrable forests, Beartown recreates the stifling atmosphere of a dying community.
It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk everything to see justice done.
But it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act.
Then the town is offered a bright new future.
And each year more and more of the town is swallowed by the forest.
Cut-off from everywhere else it experiences the kind of isolation that tears people apart. . .
