Description

Anxious People
By Fredrik Backman
📚 Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Humorous Fiction

A quirky, heartfelt story about a failed bank robbery, a group of strangers, and the messy beauty of being human.

From the bestselling author of A Man Called Ove comes a uniquely funny and deeply moving novel about a group of seemingly ordinary people brought together by an extraordinary situation.

When a bank robbery goes wrong, the robber flees into an open house apartment—accidentally taking a group of strangers hostage. Over the next few chaotic hours, these anxious, wildly different people share confessions, secrets, and unexpected connections, all while police scramble outside and tensions rise inside.

With his signature warmth and wit, Fredrik Backman turns a story of crime into a celebration of empathy, forgiveness, and the little things that bind us together.

Perfect for readers who love character-driven stories that make you laugh, cry, and reflect—Anxious People is a reminder that no one is ever truly a stranger.
