New Year

A family holiday on Lanzarote turns into a harrowing tale. Thanks to a chain of unfortunate events, the two small children Henning and Luna have to survive on their own in the family’s rented holiday home. It’s a traumatic experience that will take its full toll on Henning years later, now a stressed-out husband, a father of two small children and on holiday on Lanzarote once again.

Juli Zeh’s stunning novel spent months on the Spiegel best seller list.

«Two literary modes - the thriller and the social commentary - mingle so closely here as to make New Year Zeh’s best book to date.» (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

«A highly concentrated and compact story with gripping dynamics and a powerful ‘Aha’ effect.»
