My Friends

My Friends by Fredrik Backman

A #1 New York Times Bestseller | A Heartfelt Story of Friendship, Art, and the Unexpected Ways We Save One Another
From the author of A Man Called Ove comes a moving and magical tale about the bonds that shape us—and the art that preserves them.

In My Friends, beloved storyteller Fredrik Backman delivers another unforgettable novel filled with his signature blend of humor, humanity, and emotional insight.

When aspiring artist Louisa inherits a mysterious painting, she becomes obsessed with uncovering the story behind it. At first glance, it's just a serene seascape—but Louisa notices something most people overlook: three small figures at the end of a long pier, nearly hidden in the canvas.

Her search takes her across the country and twenty-five years into the past, where a group of teenagers in a quiet seaside town once found solace, laughter, and purpose in each other. Their bond, forged in the face of hardship, shaped not only their futures—but unknowingly touched the life of a stranger decades later.
