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.
中文简介:
Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller A People Book of the Week, Book of the Month Club selection, and Best of Fall in Good Housekeeping, PopSugar, The Washington Post, New York Post, Shondaland, CNN, 等等！ “[一部] 古怪、开朗的小说……诙谐、睿智，而且常常让人捧腹大笑，它是一个完全原创的故事，带来纯粹的快乐。
” ——《纽约时报》畅销书第一名《一个叫欧维的男人》的作者带来了一部迷人、凄美的小说，讲述了一场从未发生过的犯罪，一名想成为银行劫匪的人消失在稀薄的空气中，八个极度焦虑的陌生人发现他们的共同点比他们想象的要多。
看房地产通常不是生死攸关的情况，但当一名失败的银行劫匪闯入并劫持一群陌生人为人质时，公寓开放日就变成了这种情况。
俘虏包括一对最近退休的夫妇，他们不懈地追捕修理者，以避免他们无法修复自己婚姻的痛苦事实。
有一位忙得无暇顾及其他人的富有银行董事，还有一对即将生下第一个孩子但似乎无法就任何事情达成一致的年轻夫妇，从他们想住的地方到他们第一次见面的方式地方。
再加上一位八十七岁的老妇人，她活得足够长，不怕有人拿枪指着她的脸，一个慌乱但仍准备做一笔交易的房地产经纪人，以及一个将自己锁在公寓唯一的浴室里的神秘人，而你却得到了世界上最糟糕的人质。
他们每个人都带着一生的委屈、伤害、秘密和即将沸腾的激情。
他们中没有一个完全是他们看起来的样子。
他们所有人——包括银行抢劫犯——都迫切希望得到某种拯救。
当当局和媒体包围这些场所时，这些不情愿的盟友将揭露关于他们自己的令人惊讶的真相，并引发一系列出乎意料的事件，以至于他们甚至无法解释接下来会发生什么。
凭借 Fredrik Backman 的“音调完美的对话和对人性无与伦比的理解”（货架意识），Anxious People 是一个巧妙构建的故事，讲述了友谊、宽恕和希望的持久力量——拯救我们的东西，即使在最焦虑的时候。
