“Anxious People” by Fredrik Backman
Published by Atria Books
Finished 3/12/21 – 4/5 stars
A failed bank robbery turns into a hostage situation for a
number of unsuspecting people who were simply viewing an apartment for
sale. Mixed in are stories of young
love, old love, parental love, self love, and empathy for others. Oh, and then there are some life lessons and comedy
thrown in there as well. It wouldn’t be
a Fredrik Backman book if there weren’t.
This is the fourth book of his that I’ve read and thoroughly enjoyed
(obviously, since I finished it in just a couple days). “A Man Called Ove” is still my favorite
though.
My favorite quote from this book is “Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.” If that makes you chuckle I bet this book will too.
