Anxious People

A hostage situation that brings strangers together in the most unexpected ways.

Anxious People follows a failed bank robber who accidentally takes eight strangers hostage during an open house. As the police try to piece together what happened, the captives including a retired couple, a pregnant woman, a wealthy banker, and a mysterious man hiding in the bathroom reveal themselves to be far more complex than they first appear.

Told with Fredrik Backman’s trademark compassion and wit, the story weaves through misunderstandings, regrets, and absurdities, showing how fragile and messy human lives can be. Each character is battling their own form of anxiety, and through their entangled experiences, they discover unexpected moments of connection, humor, and hope.

Anxious People is a story about how even the most anxious, broken people can find understanding and compassion in the unlikeliest situations. With sharp dialogue and heartfelt observations, Fredrik Backman offers a celebration of humanity in all its messiness.
