5.0

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman is a character driven story of redemption. The cast of characters are at times sympathetic, grating, lovable, and baffling. The time-jumping narrative is well done, easy to follow, and unravels skillfully. 

I am really glad I read this novel. As happens so rarely, I know I will be thinking about how these characters are doing for a good, long while.
