Anxious People (Paperback)
September 2020 Indie Next List
“This book made me feel all the feels! It was sad, it was funny, it was hopeful, it was everything. The character development is incredible at revealing what’s inside each of the characters, and the way their stories link and interconnect is genius. It’s a story about sadness and hope and human connections. I couldn’t put it down and barreled to the end, but now I am sad it’s over. Anxious People is truly the best thing I’ve read in a long time!”

The delicacy and intricacy with which Backman weaves his storytelling is nothing short of astounding. He guides his characters through trauma and grief with kindness and tenderness in such a way that makes his newest novel impossible to put down. A boost for the soul in these anxious times; this is a story to savor and share.
