SUMMARY:Anxious People by Frederik Backman | GGP Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Anxious People by Frederik Backman | GGP Online Book Club | Tue. Dec. 8 @ 7 PM PST\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us on Tuesday\, December 8\, 2020 at 7 PM PST for a GGP Online Book Club discussion of Frederik Backman’s new novel\, ANXIOUS PEOPLE. \nThe Zoom meeting will be at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87874523125. \nYou can order a copy in hardcover at https://bit.ly/ggpAnxious\, or in audiobook from Libro.fm\, GGP’s audiobook partner\, at https://bit.ly/AnxiousAB. \nDescription\n\nInstant #1 New York Times Bestseller \nA 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! \n“[A] quirky\, big-hearted novel… Wry\, wise\, and often laugh-out-loud funny\, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure.” —People \nFrom 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. \nLooking 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. \nEach 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. \nRich 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. \nAbout the Author\n\nFredrik Backman is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Man Called Ove\, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry\, Britt-Marie Was Here\, Beartown\, Us Against You\, and two novellas\, And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer and The Deal of a Lifetime\, as well as one work of nonfiction\, Things My Son Needs to Know About the World. His books are published in more than forty countries. His latest novel\, Anxious People\, was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. He lives in Stockholm\, Sweden\, with his wife and two children.
