Anxious People
The No. 1 New York Times bestseller, now a Netflix TV Series
By Fredrik Backman
Harry Hartog's review
I need to make it clear I am not a literary reader by any means - I enjoy trashy romance, far-fetched fantasy worlds and a bit of history. HOWEVER Anxious People by Fredrick Backman is the SINGLE most beautifully written book I have ever read. A book about a bank robbery gone wrong, a failed marriage and the things we do for those we love most. A true case study on human relationships, trauma and love. If you are going to read just one book that is recommended to you, let be this one. - Jaqui, Harry Hartog Tuggeranong
Description
An instant number 1 New York Times bestseller and touching new comedy from the author of multi-million copy bestseller A Man Called Ove
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a masked figure approaching a bank...
Two hours later, chaos has descended. An attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - with the offender refusing to voice their demands.
Fear turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be more dramatic?
But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are...
