Fatima Bhutto recommends
This Place That Place (2022)
Nandita Dinesh
"An audacious and original work of imagining, set in a world where there is nothing more dangerous than unconventional ideas."
The Wild Laughter (2020)
Caoilinn Hughes
"What a profound, much needed, urgent novel. The Wild Laughter is dark and beautiful, and touches the heart of what deep suffering our political systems have brought upon the world, but seen in that clearest way – intimately, microscopically, through family. The myriad ways they can love, hurt and betray one another... So well done."
Against the Loveless World (2020)
Susan Abulhawa
"A thrilling, defiant novel ... Reads as a riot act against oppression, misogyny, and shame."
