Books to Look Forward to for a New Year

Luckily, Newsweek has recommendations for enticing new reads coming out in the next few months. From crime-solving theater troupe protagonists to a century-spanning Australian epic, and a year in the life of an E.R. doctor during the pandemic to the journals of Alice Walker, reserve these 22 picks at your library or pre-order now so you’ll have a steady supply of great fiction and nonfiction to start 2022 off right.

Fiction

Wahala

By Nikki May JANUARY CUSTOM HOUSE 27.

An exciting debut likened to Sex and the City for our current moment centers on three Anglo-Nigerian best friends and a fourth woman who emerges onto their scene and roils the group. Exciting and razor sharp, we predict Wahala will be on all this year’s “best of” lists.

Take My Hand

By Dolen Perkins-Valdez APRIL BERKLEY 27

A Black nurse working at a family clinic in ’70s Alabama discovers two poor, young girls are being prescribed birth control in this impressive historical epic. Valdez’s story and characters are deeply affecting and call attention to the importance of recognizing history’s dark moments.

This Might Hurt

By Stephanie Wrobel FEBRUARY BERKLEY 2 The mastermind behind last year’s Darling Rose Gold returns with a second, equally sinister feat. This Might Hurt starts as a slow burn that crackles with sinister energy as we’re brought to the serene, unplugged oasis of Wisewood. Bring your troubles and you will certainly leave them behind. But what’s behind the tranquil facade? Fans of Liane Moriarty’s Seven Perfect Strangers will adore this.

The Return of Faraz Ali

By Aamina Ahmad APRIL RIVERHEAD BOOKS 27
