Alexia Arthurs recommends
God of Mercy (2021)
Okezie Nwọka
"God of Mercy is an elegantly written, morally rigorous exploration of tradition and belonging. Reminiscent of Toni Morrison's inventive language-making and Chinua Achebe's decolonizing legacy, Okezie Nwoka is a masterful storyteller, and a writer of unusual grace."
These Ghosts Are Family (2020)
Maisy Card
"Written with the brand of Jamaican humor I know and love, These Ghosts Are Family is a book I didn't know I needed to read, which might be the best kind of book. Maisy Card is a wonderful arrival for Caribbean literature."
