Fredrik Backman
“All adults have days when we feel completely drained. When we no longer know quite what we spend so much time fighting for, when reality and everyday worries overwhelm us and we wonder how much longer we’re going to be able to carry on.

Fredrik Backman, Beartown

Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow

Fredrik Backman
