The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they cant fix their own marriage. Theres 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 cant seem to agree on anything, from where they want to live to how they met in the first place.

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 Backmans 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.
