GREAT book published 2020.

I can’t compare it to anything else. Absurd comedy.

A poignant, charming novel about a crime that never took place, a would-be bank robber who disappears into thin air, and eight extremely anxious strangers who find they have more in common than they ever imagined.

New Year’s Eve in a small Swedish town.

In a robbery / hostage taking gone wrong, it’s all “Stockholm Syndrome” by the end.

A heartwarming read.
