Tahmima Anam recommends

Tell Me an Ending (2022)
Jo Harkin
"A cautionary tale about technology making its way into the very depths of our personal lives, Tell Me an Ending is thought-provoking and utterly compulsive."
thumb
Love Marriage (2022)
Monica Ali
"No one captures the modern family like Monica Ali - Love Marriage is a masterful cacophony of characters, all drawn with deep empathy and sharp insight. The novel is full of surprises and unexpected twists, with an ending that will take your breath away."

Sharks in the Time of Saviours (2020)
Sharks in the Time of Saviors

Kawai Strong Washburn
"Sharks in the Time of Saviours is a story of trauma passed down through the generations, of how poverty, grief, and broken dreams weave their way through the lives of one family. Yet it is a story told with joy, even humour, in lyrical, hypnotic prose that will stay with you long after you turn the last page."
