Favorite adult book recommendation — Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
This beautifully written story follows a young couple as they maneuver emigration and displacement. While a reasonably quick read, its impact will linger long. Hamid’s main character reminds us that “…we are all migrants through time.”
Favorite young adult book recommendation — The Yearling Fish by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
This is a beloved book from my childhood that helped to create a voracious love of reading. Decades later, I can still recreate the feeling of totally immersing myself in a story and visualizing the scenes.
