I am a big Fredrik Backman fan.

"A Man Called One,' "Anxious People," "Britt-Marie Was Here"...are all wonderful. He is a great storyteller.

"My Friends" is right there with his best work, well at least so far. I am totally drawn in. The main character, Louisa, will get you hooked on the first page.

I try not to talk about a book before I haven't finished it since you never know if the author lost the plot halfway through. But Backman has a great track record and I don't foresee anything other than his terrific writing ahead.
