AUGUST BOOK CLUB: ANXIOUS PEOPLE

AUGUST BOOK CLUB: ANXIOUS PEOPLE

Hello, fellow readers! As the warm August breeze playfully stirs in our bustling days, this month’s book club we would like to embark upon a humorous yet thought-provoking story, making it a perfect companion for the reflective and leisurely days of late summer, which will certainly take you out of a reading slump: “Anxious People” by Fredrik Backman. 


A comedic take about a failed bank robbery that, in a bizarre twist of fate, spirals into a hostage drama involving eight quirky strangers from an open house. This leads to unexpected revelations and bonding among the captives, each with their own comically poignant backstories. As tension escalates outside, the group inside finds uncommon ground, proving even in the most absurd situations, there's room for empathy and a deep dive into the complexities of human nature.


Fredrik Backman, known for his bestselling "A Man Called Ove," charms readers yet again. One of the Goodreads reviewers has said “if you are looking for a heart-warming, hilarious story, definitely give this a read!”. It did remind me about the humour in the classics, such as irony, wit and sarcasm in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. In awe of the wonderfully witty authors, you can wear one of our “Pride and Prejudice” book bags to celebrate the classics that never fail to entertain. 


Let this summer’s gentle, warm breeze weave through an engaging and heartwarming tale of eight anxious strangers, keeping your heart warmer. Hopefully, your day is going smoother than that of our hapless robber, caught in a tough spot between facing the police or eight anxious strangers. What a dilemma!


This book is so unexpectedly captivating in so many ways that we would be thrilled to hear your opinions about it on social media or in the comments below!


Happy reading, dear friends, and may this month's book bring you closer to the heart of what it means to be beautifully, imperfectly human.


And be sure to be back for our next month’s title pick from The Well Read Company Book Club.
