Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

From the 18 million copy internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove comes this funny, touching, and unpredictable No. 1 New York Times bestseller. This novel delves into the messy essence of being human as a group of anxious strangers are unexpectedly brought together during a hostage situation on New Year's Eve.

The story unfolds when an incompetent bank robber takes hostages during an open viewing at an up-market apartment. Huddled inside are prospective homebuyers, panicky parents-to-be, a lonely bank manager, and an 87-year-old grandmother who seems rather pleased by the company. As police gather outside, these anxious strangers must confront what they have in common.
