We Were Not Kings (2025)
Robert de la Chevotiere
"A deeply moving novel that fearlessly explores the complexities of brotherhood, masculinity, colourism, and what it takes to carve out a good life despite the traumas that follow you. Robert de la Chevotiere's writing is luminous and devastatingly magnetic, a mark of a brilliant storyteller we should all keep our eyes on."

My Mother Cursed My Name (2024)
Anamely Salgado Reyes
"Vivid, heartfelt, and dramatic, this is a gorgeously woven tale about three generations of a Mexican American mothers and daughters who are trying to survive their collective and individual grief. The familial love will stick with you long after you've finished it."
