Laila Lalami recommends
Sunrise (2026)
Téa Obreht
"Sunrise is thrilling and ingenious. In her new novel, Obreht explores this country's troubled past, its gaps and silences, and the rich history that only new storytellers can excavate."
We Were Forbidden (2026)
Jacqueline Harpman
"[I] couldn't put it down. . . It's a deceptively simple but wholly propulsive story that explores the interplay between memory, patriarchy and solidarity."
The Expert of Subtle Revisions (2025)
Kirsten Menger-Anderson
"A touching and deftly constructed story about the most precious thing we have - time. From modern-day San Francisco to Croatia before the Great War and 1930s Vienna, Kirsten Menger-Anderson follows her characters as they try to solve the mysteries of science, faith, and love. A glorious book."
