This instant #1 New York Times bestseller about a crime that never takes place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined is a \"wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny\" (People).Looking at real estate isn't usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them--the bank robber included--desperately crave some sort of rescue. In short, they are the worst group of hostages in the world.As the authorities and the media surround the premises, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next. Proving once again that Backman is \"a master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives\" (USA TODAY), Anxious People \"captures the messy essence of being human....It's clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry\" (The Washington Post). This \"endlessly entertaining mood-booster\" (Real Simple) is proof that the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope can save us--even in the most anxious of times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFredrik Backman is the #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eA Man Called Ove\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBritt-Marie Was Here\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeartown\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUs Against You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAnxious People\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winners, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eMy Friends\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as two novellas and one work of nonfiction.
