By the Book: Fresh Starts

It's the beginning of a new year, and after the doozy that was 2020, we wanted to look at books that tackle the idea of starting over, whether through migration, a change of landscape, or having to begin again after hardship. As well as why moments like these, of renewal and change, have been fruitful starting points for so many authors. And then in Footnotes, we discuss some of our reading resolutions for 2021.
