Anxious People starts with the all the quirkly, charming characters you expect from a Backman novel but just as you are tempted to dismiss them as silly and one dimensional, your empathy is engaged. You learn about their motivations and come to understand why they choose to behave as they do. Highly recommended! A lovely story that exercises your empathy and who does not need their empathy exercised? Thank you, Fredrik Backman. Place your hold here: https://sandiego.bibliocommons.com/item/show/1466523161
