March 2024 Diverse Reads:

1. Home is a Silhouette by Kataru Yahya (Ghanian/Muslim)

HOME IS A SILHOUETTE is a stunning debut by Kataru Yahya, spinning a multi-POV loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast set in Ghana, where not all fairy tales are magical. Some are brutal.

Asiya Abdullah has it all. But still, her heart is restless. She yearns for a closer relationship with her mother and friends who truly care about her. When a single mistake forces her into the grasp of a successful, powerful, and wanted man, Asiya's life is thrust into a dark and violent world hidden behind the glittering walls of a mansion.

Lila has long since given up the idea of escaping. Five years have been stolen from her, and with little to go back to, she obediently serves as a maid to the Master of the house. Lila knows she's a shell of herself and surrounded by people she cannot trust, but with nowhere as a home for her heart, what else can she do?When the two girls' paths converge, their worlds shatter.

2. The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste (Ethiopian)

Set during Mussolini's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia, The Shadow King takes us back to the first real conflict of World War II, casting light on the women soldiers who were left out of the historical record. At its heart is orphaned maid Hirut, who finds herself tumbling into a new world of thefts and violations, of betrayals and overwhelming rage. What follows is a heartrending and unputdownable exploration of what it means to be a woman at war.

3. The Afterpains by Anna Julia Stainsby (Honduran)

Gorgeous and compelling, The Afterpains is a heartbreaking portrait of two families trying to cope with grief, isolation, and living far from one's homeland--told in the voices of four distinct narrators.
Nearly twenty years after the death of her infant daughter, Rosy is still reeling from all that she's lost. Desperate to repair the connections to the family she does have--her husband, Desmond, and her eighteen-year-old son, Eddie--she's determined to lay her grief to rest by the twentieth anniversary of her daughter's death.
At the same time, Isaura dreads what may be coming for her teenage daughter, Mivi. For centuries in her homeland of Honduras, the young women in Isaura's family have been subjected to a curse of teenage motherhood and the untimely death of the men they loved. But even after moving thousands of miles away from Pespire to Toronto, Isaura fears that her daughter will not be spared. Soon, Rosy and Isaura, essentially strangers, become connected in a way neither of them could predict. As they try to look to their future and their children's, they struggle to put the past behind them--all while Eddie and Mivi contend with the weight of their mothers' pain and guilt.
Tender and compassionate, The Afterpains is a moving debut novel on motherhood, grief, identity, and belonging.
