Overview
This five-book paperback set brings together the signature warmth, wit, and emotional depth of #1 New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman. From the curmudgeonly widower at the heart of A Man Called Ove to the small-town hockey drama of The Winners and the sweeping, decades-spanning friendship saga of My Friends, this collection showcases Backman's gift for turning ordinary lives into unforgettable, deeply human stories — a perfect fit for established fans filling gaps in their shelf or new readers ready to discover his unmistakable storytelling voice.
About the Books
Fredrik Backman built his reputation on stories that find tenderness in everyday grumpiness, grief, and connection. A Man Called Ove, his breakout debut, follows a rigid widower whose plans for solitude are upended by a chaotic new family next door. Britt-Marie Was Here sends a prim, list-making woman to coach a ragtag youth soccer team in a forgotten town. My Grandmother Sends Her Regards and Apologises follows a grieving granddaughter who uncovers her late grandmother's secret letters of apology. The Winners closes out the acclaimed Beartown trilogy, as old wounds resurface in a hockey-obsessed town. My Friends, one of Backman's most recent works, follows a teenager who inherits a painting and the story of the friends who created it decades earlier. Together, these five novels trace Backman's evolution as a storyteller while staying true to the themes that define his work: loneliness transformed into belonging.
