Synopsis "Gente Ansiosa "

Visitar um apartamento que está à venda não costuma redundar numa situação de perigo. A menos que seja antevéspera de Ano Novo, e um ladrão inexperiente tenha decidido assaltar um banco onde não há dinheiro. Quando assim é, torna-se inevitável que não haja sequer um plano de fuga, e se acabe com uma data de reféns acidentais.
Felizmente, podemos confiar na pronta intervenção das autoridades. A menos que os dois polícias responsáveis pelo caso não se entendam nem saibam o que fazer.
Ainda assim, acreditamos que tudo correrá bem, em particular se os reféns permanecerem calmos. A menos que sejam os reféns mais idiotas de todos os tempos: uma analista bancária com ideias suicidas, uma adorável velhinha com motivações pouco transparentes, um casal reformado com uma paixão enorme pelo IKEA, duas recém-casadas, prestes a serem mães, que andam sempre às turras, uma agente imobiliária com entusiasmo a mais e talento a menos, e uma pessoa vestida de coelho.
Com um sentido de humor excecional, que cativou milhões de leitores em todo o mundo, e personagens tão imperfeitas quanto tocantes, Fredrik Backman volta a surpreender com esta história sobre gente idiota e ansiosa e os laços invisíveis que (n)os unem.

Fredrik Backman is a Swedish writer internationally recognized for his novels full of humanity, humor, and emotion. Born on June 2, 1981, in Stockholm, Sweden, Backman has captivated readers around the world with stories that explore the complexities of everyday life, human relationships, and the search for meaning in an often chaotic world.

Backman's literary journey began with his work as a columnist and blogger, where his approachable and reflective style already resonated with his readers. His rise to fame came in 2012 with his debut novel, A Man Called Ove, which quickly became a literary phenomenon. The story of Ove, a grumpy widower with a big heart, has been translated into more than 40 languages and adapted into film several times, including the movie A Man Called Otto (2022), starring Tom Hanks.

Since then, Fredrik Backman has solidified his reputation as one of the most talented storytellers of his generation with works like My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry (2013), Britt-Marie Was Here (2014), and Beartown (2017). His ability to address universal themes such as grief, loneliness, love, and belonging has made him an essential author for those seeking moving and meaningful reads.

In 2017, Backman published Anxious People, a dramatic comedy that explores the lives of a group of strangers caught in a peculiar incident. This novel, acclaimed by critics and readers alike, was adapted into a Netflix miniseries, further consolidating his influence in global literature and entertainment.
