Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

A People Book of the Week, Book of the Month Club selection, #1 Indie Next Pick, and Best of Fall in Good Housekeeping, PopSugar, The Washington Post, New York Post, Shondaland, CNN, and more!

“[A] quirky, big-hearted novel… Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure.” —People

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove comes a charming, poignant novel about a crime that never took 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.

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. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.

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. 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.

Rich with Fredrik Backman’s “pitch-perfect dialogue and an unparalleled understanding of human nature” (Shelf Awareness), Anxious People is an ingeniously constructed story about the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope—the things that save us, even in the most anxious times.

如果人们真的像他们在网上表现的那么开心，就不会把那么多该死的时间花在互联网上了，因为没有谁会在真正度过愉快的一天时，还能想着拿出半天的时间自拍。只要拥有足够的肥料，任何人都可以给生活营造虚假的光鲜氛围。 (查看原文)

因为爱，我愿意接纳anxiety

这本书开头让人一头雾水，读来有些食之寡淡弃之可惜，随着故事慢慢展开，人物悉数登场，最后你会捂着小心脏，满心幸福的发现，这是一个关于一群傻瓜互相救赎的故事。我一开始还疑惑，这样简短的一宗绑架案要如何撑满一个故事，其实不然，每个角色，从人质，到警察，到绑匪，甚... (展开)

即使知道世界明天就要毁灭，我们今天也要种下一颗小苹果树。

巴克曼的新书，出版之后就买来看了。之前读过他其他书的朋友应该都熟悉他的风格。这本依旧是温情路线，故事和人物都很贴合当今社会，不同的人面临不同的生活困难，你可以说这是一种焦虑或者是其他某种情绪。这本书不难读，人物情节也比较简单，不需要什么阅读门槛都可以读下去... (展开)

《焦虑的人》里让你印象最深刻的角色是谁？

这篇书评可能有关键情节透露

北欧暖男巴克曼这次带来的故事，设计挺巧妙的，一个愚蠢的劫匪误打误撞地劫持了一群奇葩的房屋买家，又赶上临近新年只有两个警察前来处理案件，两边谁都不敢轻举妄动，于是局面僵持了一整天，各种寸劲儿都凑一块儿了，但是巴克曼就是有本事把巧合写得顺理成章、真实可信。劫匪... (展开)

一群不完美的陌生人，互相治愈

Fredrik Backman今年下半年的新书，是今年新出的小说里最值得读的之一。从《一个叫欧维的男人决定去死》到《熊镇》， Fredrik Backman的作品从来没有令我失望过。看一个英文book review里面说，第一次读Backman的作品之前有点怀疑，说不明白为什么Backman的作品受到这么大的吹... (展开)
