My Dreadful Body by Egana Djabbarova, translated by Lisa C. Hayden, New Vessel Press: A dazzling debut novel about a young woman’s vexed coming of age in a traditional Azerbaijani community in Russia, grappling under the weight of Muslim patriarchal norms and a debilitating neurological condition. The mysterious affliction leaves her unable to control her muscles, plagued by pain and speech disorders, defying diagnosis. Addressing each body part with the scrupulousness of a medical researcher, the narrator explores memories, traditions, and taboos related to her physical self. https://newvesselpress.com/books/my-dreadful-body/
Ever Since We Small by Celeste Mohammed, Ig Publishing: An intricately woven tapestry of stories where survival, resilience, and self-discovery are passed down through generations of an Indo-Trinidadian family. Celeste Mohammed’s second novel-in-stories, Ever Since We Small, is a family saga that spans from the days of the British Raj in India to multicultural modern Trinidad. Written in a blend of Standard English and several flavors of Trinidad Kriol, the book follows the bloodline of a young woman, Jayanti, after her decision to become a girmitiya, an indentured laborer in the Caribbean. https://www.igpub.com/ever-since-we-small/
