[ ] Anxious People by Fredrik Backman (author of A Man Called Ove)

“An apartment viewing becomes a life and death situation when a failed bank robber burst in and takes the group of 8 strangers hostage. None are entirely who they appear to be. As time goes by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage needs to be rescued more then they do. Reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion some unexpected events. It is about the power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope. Things that save us in anxious times.” (Norma)
