out of ones i've recently read i recommend tender is the flesh and the unworthy by agustina bazterrica and thirst by marina yuszczuk 🙂↕️👀
oops my bad my data hadn't loaded the full list i see they're already added 💀
no worries! i do that all the time hahah
i love this list so much!! i reference it all the time but didn’t realize i hadn’t saved it until now. thank you for your contribution to this community!! 🩷
Aw, thank you so much, I'm so glad it's helpful!
I think most (if not all) of Isabel Allende's books have been translated into English, maybe I'd recommend adding at least her debut novel The House of Spirits. Then, a couple more South American authors: -Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor -Fever Dream by Samantha Schwelbin Sorry in advance if I missed any of these already being in the list! I'll be back if I remember any other translated works I could suggest 🤠
Added, thank you for the suggestions, they look really interesting!
Is this list exclusively for books that were translated into English from another language? If so, I don't think Her Body and Other Parties should be on here
you're right, thank you! added in error
