WASHINGTON POST

From the 18 million copy internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove.

It's New Year's Eve, and House Tricks estate agents are hosting an open viewing in an up-market apartment when an incompetent bank robber rushes in and politely takes everyone hostage.

For Anna-Lena and Roger, busy buying up apartments to fill the hole in their marriage, it's something else to talk about.

For Julia and Ro, panicky parents-to-be, it's yet another worry.

Lonely bank manager Zara only came here for the view.

While 87-year-old grandmother Estelle seems rather pleased by the company. . . .

As the police gather outside, the anxious strangers huddled within try to make the best of a very sticky situation - but could it be that they have a whole lot more in common than meets the eye?

Readers are loving Anxious People!

Backman never disappoints. . . . heartwarming and multi-layered.

5***** READER REVIEW

As always, Backman manages to delight. . . . a really satisfying ending that makes you feel better about the world.
