Brace yourself for the most astonishing, challenging, upsetting, and profoundly moving book in many a season. An epic about love and friendship in the twenty-first century that goes into some of the darkest places fiction has ever traveled and yet somehow improbably breaks through into the light. Truly an amazement. – https://www.amazon.com/Little-Life-Novel-Hanya-Yanagihara/dp/1511358602Â
Winner of The Man Booker Prize  2015 : A Brief History of Seven Killings, tells the story of the attempted assassination of Bob Marley.

First-time Ghanaian-American novelist Yaa Gyasi delves [into the bottomless well of the subject matter of slavery] for the creation of Homegoing, a hugely empathic, unflinching portrayal of west Africa’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. – https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jan/13/homegoing-by-yaa-gyasi-review
‘Human Acts is a universal book, utterly modern and profoundly timeless. Already a controversial bestseller and award-winning book in Korea, it confirms Han Kang as a writer of immense importance.’ – http://portobellobooks.com/human-acts
Salt is a journey through warmth and sharpness. This collection of poetry explores the realities of multiple identities, language, diasporic life & pain, the self, community, healing, celebration, and love. – http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18585282-salt
Paul Beatty’s The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. A biting satire about a young man’s isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, it challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant. Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2016. – http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22237161-the-sellout
A truly unique short novel that is best recommended with as little words to describe it so as to honour the art of it. Winner of the Man Booker International Prize in 2016, it deserves all of its accolades.
