The Winners by Fredrik Backman (September 27)

OCTOBER

Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng (October 4) Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice.

Nights of Plague by Orhan Pamuk (October 4)

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature: Part detective story, part historical epic—a bold and brilliant novel that imagines a plague ravaging a fictional island in the Ottoman Empire.
