SP Book Club

Discuss diverse and inclusive titles from a variety of genres on the fourth Thursday of every month!

This month we will be discussing Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. This is a hostage drama during an open house. A failed bank robber has locked himself in with six strangers. There is Roger and Anna-Lena, a retired couple looking for fixer-uppers because they don?t know how to fix their marriage. Zara is a wealthy bank director who has never cared for poor people. Julia and Danijela are a young couple with a newborn who cannot agree on anything. And Estelle, an 80-year-old who remains unimpressed by some bank robber waving a gun. This is a story about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and a group of very anxious people who experience the same events in wildly different ways.
