My Friends: A Novel by Fredrik Backman

Product Details

About the Book

My Friends tells the story of a hidden detail in one of the world's most famous paintings: three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier, easily mistaken for nothing more than part of the sea. Louisa, a troubled seventeen-year-old aspiring artist grieving the loss of her best friend, becomes determined to uncover who those figures really are — and why they matter.

Twenty-five years earlier, in a small seaside town, four teenagers named Ted, Ali, Joar, and C. Jat found refuge from difficult home lives on an abandoned pier, spending long summer days sharing jokes, secrets, and small acts of rebellion. Their friendship, forged in that place, would go on to shape the rest of their lives — and eventually reach across decades to change the life of a stranger she's never met. Blending humor, heartbreak, and Backman's signature warmth, My Friends is a sweeping story about the redemptive power of art, the endurance of friendship, and how the smallest, most ordinary connections can ripple across a lifetime.
