Clean by Alia Trabucco Zeran (tr. Sophie Hughes)
Clean uses a domestic worker’s story about a child’s death to explore equality and class in modern Chile. It’s a riveting story that made me want to learn more.

The Empusium by Olga Tokarczuk (tr. Antonia Lloyd-Jones)
While I love Tokarczuk’s writing, this book was either a mismatch or bad timing. It wasn’t a long book, but often felt like one.

Roman Stories by Jhumpa Lahiri
Roman Stories doesn’t always measure up to Lahiri’s best, but her striking language and timeless themes make many of these stories unforgettable.
