Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller
The funny, touching and unpredictable novel from the 15 million copy internationally bestselling author of A Man Called Ove.
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank...
Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police.
Within the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. If this is to be their last day on earth, shouldn't it be a bit more dramatic?
But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are...

Heartwarming
I listened to the whole book on one go. Beautifully written, it involves us in the story as if we were part of it. Loved it even more than Ove.

Loved loved loved
Yet another brilliantly written Backman book. It was a treat to put my headphones and lose myself to the story. I didn’t want it to end and the book and all it’s wonderful characters have stayed with me weeks later. This is the book I’ll be recommending to everyone. Can’t wait for his next book as I’ve now read them all.

Witty, entertaining and thought provoking.
Absolutely loved this book! Have listened to so many Audible books but this one I have really enjoyed. I can't wait to read another by this author.

Captivating
Enjoyed the narrator Marin Ireland, she put the story across really well. I have read quite a few of Fredrik Backman 's books, each have been totally enjoyable. Fredrick has a unique style of writting that I love. Highly recommend this book 😊

The meaning of life in one book
This was a funny story an impossibility but throughout the book you receive tit bits about life that you place in your head and say, yes, that’s true or I can relate to that. A lovely listen.
