Anxious People
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank...
Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police.
Within the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be a bit more dramatic?
But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are . . .
This novel is so hard to review without giving away any spoilers. But the story is about a bank robbery that turns into the most ridiculous hostage situation! Anxious People is an a fabulously entertaining book but at times it is also uncommonly moving. there are so many twists and turns that one could very easily end up with whiplash, but I think that is what makes this book so especially appealing.
It is funny, packed to bursting with really interesting characters, and it is a novel that is very difficult to pull yourself away from.
if you are looking for something a little different to read and are up for spending a couple of hours, being throughly entertained, then look no further than Anxious People by Fredrik Backman.
