Safia Elhillo recommends

At Sea (2026)
Y M Abdel-Magied
"Propulsive and engrossing and deeply fascinating, Abdel-Magied's At Sea is a feat of vivid world-building, of characters sketched with such empathy and with a poet's economy of language. My heart was in my throat the entire time. This story will haunt me forever."

When We Were Sisters (2022)
Fatimah Asghar
"When We Were Sisters is a stunning accomplishment in form, storytelling, and heart. This novel works language into its most jeweled form, into characters, sisters, that will stay with me for the rest of my life."
