My favorites this year were:
Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion, by Bushra Rehman (coming-of-age coming-out novel about young woman from traditional religious family)
Let Us Descend, by Jesmyn Ward (gorgeous writing, historical fiction set in slavery times)
The Light Pirate, by Lily Brooks-Dalton (apocalyptic magic realism)
These all look terrific. I've read Jesmyn Ward's non-fiction so very curious about her novel!
Oh, yes, definitely, and read Jesmyn Ward's earlier fiction too! Salvage the Bones is breathtaking. It's the powerful & poetic story of a poor Mississippi family weathering Hurricane Katrina.
