Juhea Kim recommends
White Mulberry (2024)
Rosa Kwon Easton
"A beautiful and poignant novel of a young Korean woman's coming of age amid the turbulence of colonization and World War II. The resilience and self-determination of the heroine vividly mirror the astonishing trajectory of her nation."
An Unlasting Home (2022)
Mai Al-Nakib
"An Unlasting Home is an unforgettable story of people making choices for love, family, freedom, and identity against the tidal forces of history in the Arab region. Shimmering with poetic prose, and as pressingly real as the white heat of August in Baghdad, this poignant debut will keep you in its thrall."
