Reply to comment by the-eyes-on-you in I just finished The Winners by Fredrik Backman and I am just weeping on the couch. That author is so talented. by cerebellum0

Oh yeah that would be confusing. It was revealed that Mumble was outside the room when Matteo's sister was r worded. But, he was also threatened and manipulated into it by her attacker, so while he didn't speak up and he should have, he was also sort of a victim. He carried tons of guilt about it and ended up walking into the woods at the end of his hockey career and potentially unaliving himself, at least that's what was implied.

I think I need to re-read it and give it a second chance knowing what I know now. Thanks for clarifying!

I think I need to reread the first book. I read it a while ago but enjoyed the second and third book more due to the character development.

That too. I was so excited when this book came out, I thought I could just jump right back in but it became evident pretty quickly that I should have re-read the previous books first, it had been a few years since my last visit.
