Anxious People
A Novel
A failed bank robber takes the people at an apartment viewing hostage, and none of them is quite who they seem.
After a botched bank robbery, the would-be robber flees into an apartment viewing and takes the people there hostage. As a father-and-son pair of police officers try to work out what happened, the story circles back through the hostages’ lives, each of them struggling with something of their own. First published in Swedish in 2019, Fredrik Backman’s comic novel about anxiety, kindness and second chances was adapted by Netflix as a series.
