 'Disoriental' by Négar Djavadi, translated by Tina Kover: 

“As Kimia sits in a hospital waiting room, anticipating her IVF results, she reflects on the history of her family, from her great grandfather with his 52 wives to her parents, Darius and Sara, who fought back against each corrupt regime of their time in Iran. Tales of her extended tree of relatives are captivatingly brought to life as we explore the family’s interconnectedness, their conflicts and their secrets. At the age of ten, Kimia travelled across the Kurdish border and through Turkey to eventually land in France when her parents flee Iran. Reflecting on her childhood in her homeland, her teen years in Paris and her current life as a DJ and a hopefully soon to be mother, Kimia is easy to fall in love with, and so are her eccentric, hilarious and sometimes terrifying relatives. Making its English language debut, this novel is one not to be missed”.

'Little Fish' by Casey Plett:  

                        

“Past and future come together in this tale of Wendy Reimer, a transgender woman who discovers that her late grandfather, a Mennonite farmer, might also have been trans. Exploring themes of faith, identity, sex work, alcoholism, friendship and suicide, Wendy’s journey and connections tap into what it means to be trans in today’s USA – the highs and the lows. As she comes increasingly closer to discover her grandfather’s history and everything they have in common, she reflects back on her own life in this touching and beautiful novel”.

'So lucky' by Nicola Griffith :

“After her wife leaves her and she is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the same week, Mara Tagarelli begins to build a new life for herself. Frustrated with the “victim narrative” that has been forced upon her by colleagues, friends and her martial arts teacher, she decides to leave old connections behind and carve out a new community for herself and others. A short, fast-paced whirlwind of a novel that sees Mara’s confidence shattered as her own fears begin to haunt her, and she comes to the realisation that others might be out to hurt her too. Spine tingling and in places downright terrifying, we were routing for Mara to survive and simply to feel safe again”.

'Speak No Evil' by Uzodinma Iweala:

“Speak No Evil is not an easy read. It’s a coming-of-age book that follows the journey of Niru, a school boy living in the US, as he grapples to come to terms with being gay and fears that his conservative Nigerian parents won’t accept him if they find out. As he tiptoes around them, secretly dating a boy he met in a sports shop, he is pulled into a conflict with his best friend Meredith that ultimately ends in unexpected tragedy. At the heart of this book are themes of identity, home and forgiveness. A craftily written heart-wrencher, it explores what it means to be black and queer in today’s USA”.

'Confessions of the Fox' by Jordy Rosenberg:

“In this exciting debut, Jordy Rosenberg retells the story of 18th century thief and jail breaker Jack Sheppard. It is narrated by a present transgender historian who stumbles across a manuscript that reveals Jack is transgender. We follow the academic’s journey, reading the manuscript alongside him and picking up on his notes and additions. From Jack’s beginnings as an unpaid worker to his falling in love with Bess, prostitute and witty thief, to their joint mission to steal an “elixir” of testosterone, this story is charming and the characters endearing from start to finish. It’s a heavy book – one that requires a lot of concentration. But if you’re prepared to tackle it, it’s fascinating and above all magical”.
