Jeet Thayil recommends
thumb
Wandering Souls (2023)
Cecile Pin
"This deeply affecting novel charts one family's displacement, estrangement, and return: loss passed on like an inheritance to successive generations. Wandering Souls is more than testament, more than fiction. I am full of admiration."

Boats On Land (2012)
Janice Pariat
"Revelatory & original."
