The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar A portrayal of two women discovering an emotional rapport as they struggle against the confines of a rigid caste system, Umrigar’s captivating second novel echoes the timeless intensity of Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God, Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible—a quintessential triumph of modern literary fiction.

The Beautiful Things that Heaven Bears by Dinaw Mengestu Barely suppressed despair and black wit infuse this beautifully observed debut from Ethiopian émigré Mengestu.
