This week’s topic is a New AuthorsTell us all about your favourite new authors. Either debut authors from 2024, or new-to-you this year.
Mine are all new to me, none from this year, though the German ones are debut authors. I have mentioned some of them before but they were the only new authors I really liked this year.

Fosse, Jon "Morning and Evening" (NO: Morgon og kveld) - 2001
Last year's Nobel Prize winner. A fascinating story about the life and death of a man. 

Haig, Matt "The Midnight Library" - 2020
Imagine a library on the way between life and death. And you can see what would have become of you and your life, had you taken another road somewhere.

Knöppler, Florian "
Kronsnest [Name of Village]" (GE: Kronsnest) - 2020
This was a really nice book. It describes Hannes' youth in the 1920s. Shortly after the Second World War

Verghese, Abraham "The Covenant of Water" - 2023
A wonderful story about a family in India over the length of most of a century.

Wahl, Caroline "
22 Lanes" (GE: 22 Bahnen) - 2023
A very touching story. Tilda lives in an apartment with her divorced mother and her little sister. She studies and works on the side. The problem is that her mother is an alcoholic and so Tilda is not only her sister's educator but also her mother's caregiver.
