Book Discussion: My Friends by Fredrik Backman

Book Discussion: My Friends by Fredrik Backman

Aspiring artist Louisa becomes enchanted by three figures nestled in the corner of a famous painting. Intrigued, she embarks on a cross-country journey to uncover their story. Twenty-five years earlier, in a coastal town, four teenagers–misfits with bruised pasts–bonded over summer days on an abandoned pier, forging fierce loyalty and creative escape. Their friendship inspired the painting, and its legacy touches Louisa’s life in unexpected and emotional ways. Please note that the author will not be in attendance for this event.
