I came across this one on A.mazon:
The memory wood by Sam Lloyd (Feb 2020)
Elijah has lived in the Memory Wood for as long as he can remember. It’s the only home he’s ever known.
Elissa has only just arrived. And she’ll do everything she can to escape.
When Elijah stumbles across thirteen-year-old Elissa, in the woods where her abductor is hiding her, he refuses to alert the police. Because in his twelve years, Elijah has never had a proper friend. And he doesn’t want Elissa to leave.
Not only that, Elijah knows how this can end. After all, Elissa isn’t the first girl he’s found inside the Memory Wood.
As her abductor’s behaviour grows more erratic, Elissa realises that outwitting strange, lonely Elijah is her only hope of survival. Their cat-and-mouse game of deception and betrayal will determine both their fates, and whether either of them will ever leave the Memory Wood .

I've just finished My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell - I predict it's going to be the big book of the year. Very powerful - and controversial.
I only really fancy the Hilary Mantel and Maggie O=Farrell from the list.

In addition to David Mitchell and Maggie O'Farrell mentioned above, I'm looking forward to new books from several other authors I like - Liz Moore, Emily St John Mandel and Rosamund Lupton.
