This book was beautiful. The story follows a bank robbery that turns into a hostage situation. I promise that it is one of the best things that can happen to the 9 people in the home.
The bank robber wants to rob a bank to pay for an apartment so they don’t lose their children. 6,500 Kronor’s for a single month’s rent. Divorce can be messy and in the process we lose the things we love the most and the decision is simple. Steal the money to get back the children.
There is no hope for the future at this point.So it is must at their need for time. I could sit here and breakdown each character but in doing so I would tell too much. The greatness of the story was never knowing what the next page would bring. The story read just like life one page at a time. Surprises so great they make your heart scream or so dull they make you wish you went back to sleep.
Every time I read a story by this author I am never prepared. I laugh, cry, scream and tell others the wonder of Backman. They tell me I’m crazy and I tell them to pick up a book by this man and become invested. Sometimes they listen. Other times the do not but I know I’ve got another one.
Go out and read this book or listen to it in audio. But if you haven’t read this already what are you waiting for?

"Zara has absolutely no Flex lol 😂
“Did your parents by any chance have the same surname before they met?� Zara asked.
Ro took offense on behalf of the bank robber, and snapped: “Why do you have to be such a cow?�
Julia kicked Ro’s shin and hissed: “Don’t get involved, Ro!�
“You’re the one who’s always saying we’re going to teach our child to stand up to bullies!"

I so agree with you about this, Kemora! Whether as a print copy or as an audiobook, this author brings out so many emotions in me!
