i was going to recommend that you go to the what are you reading threads, because those are usually some that we would recommend, but here’s a brief list:

in custody -- anita desai
the known world -- edward p. jones
white teeth -- zadie smith (don’t listen to this novel’s detractors here at chowk. well listen, but politely ignore them!)
sister of my heart -- chitra banerjee divakaruni

that’s all i can think of for now while i’m munching on dinner.

oh and feel free to politely ignore this as well! )
