Devi S Laskar recommends
Inside the Mirror (2024)
Parul Kapur
"Inside the Mirror is a complex and compelling story of a displaced family living in the shadow of post-Partition India. Parul Kapur has written a gorgeous novel about art, independence, and the roots that bind a family together."
Where Waters Meet (2023)
Zhang Ling
"A stunning, gorgeous novel. Zhang Ling's Where Waters Meet is haunting and heartbreaking as it navigates mother-daughter relationships in the face of war and famine. I simply couldn't put it down."
None But the Righteous (2022)
Chantal James
"In the tradition of Toni Morrison's Beloved, None But the Righteous is a gripping ghost story, a fevered dream of a young man's quest for freedom and belonging in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Chantal James has written a gorgeous page-turner."
