She was inspired to write it during one of her own bike rides during a family vacation on Lanzarote, and has experienced the feeling of being alone in the world with her younger brother herself as a child. For Zeh, New Year is the story of our society’s excessive demands on parents, of parental exhaustion and burn out and children’s utter dependence on those overtaxed parents. In 2020, may parents have asked themselves how to keep their children safe during a pandemic, and how to care for them should they themselves get sick. New Year is the story of how little sometimes separates a child’s safety from utter disaster. With elements of a psychological thriller and social commentary, New Year is a page turner which should especially resonate with any modern parent Rights have sold to: o World English (World Editions), o France (Actes Sud) o Greece (Metaixmio) o Italy (Fazi) o Korea (Solbitkil), o The Netherlands (Ambo|Anthos) o Persian (Ibrahim) o Spain (Vegueta)
