New Book Releases: December 1, 2020

Each week, I’ll catalog the biggest and most exciting adult and YA fiction — and the occasional nonfiction — coming out that Tuesday.

I’M STAYING HERE, Marco Balzano, Jill Foulston (Translator). As fascism overtakes Europe in the early 20th century, a German woman in Italy must make impossible decisions when her young daughter goes missing. Publisher’s Weekly calls it “quietly devastating.” Bookshop.

ORDESA, Manuel Vilas, Andrea Rosenberg (Translator). From the acclaimed Spanish novelist and poet, a work of autofiction about a man looking back at the shattered pieces of his life. Bookshop.

REST AND BE THANKFUL, Emma Glass. A pediatric nurse approaches burnout in a novel the Star Tribune calls “a pungent piece of writing, tactile and sensory to the extreme.” Bookshop.
