The Other Einstein: A Novel by Marie Benedict

Interesting, Adventurous, Fun

The author managed to successfully use humor to temper the ill treatment of women and their response to it, in this Indian village. She also shared a lot of cultural references that are educational. The characters are interesting, hilarious, bawdy and often mean. But somehow the author creates some empathy, insight and understanding along the way.

The Light Pirate by Lily Brooks-Dalton
 
Beautiful, Brilliant, Adventurous

It addresses climate change in unexpected way. You don’t know for quite a while that what has happened in this Florida town is not just a temporary event. Many relationships are permanently altered, and new ones formed. There is a little magical realism that is delightful. The main character is resourceful and resilient!!

Disoriental by Négar Djavadi
 
Adventurous, Dark

A very beautiful but challenging book about a womanâ??s experience growing up in Iran and Paris. Political and historical, a fictional memoir.
