In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a masked figure approaching a bank...
Two hours later, chaos has descended. An attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - with the offender refusing to voice their demands.
Fear turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be more dramatic?
But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are...

I can't recommend Fredrik Backman enough, Anxious People is one of the best books I've read. He writes with a casualness that is profound and emotional but also incredibly witty. I've never encountered an author so in touch with the emotional ups and downs of humanity, the best feel good novel ever.
