Longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, Paradiso 17 is Nate’s picks of the bunch.

The book follows the entirety of Sufien’s deeply melancholic life as he looks for home after being displaced from his home in Palestine in 1948.

A lyrical read, where every line is beautiful and a strong sense of place is evoked. The book is based on the life of the author’s father.
