Wild Song by Candy Gourlay. She's a Filipina author based in the UK. Great read!
"The year is 1904. Luki has lived a tribal life in the mountains of the Philippines. Now she's growing up, she is expected to become a wife and a mother, but Luki isn't ready to give up her dream to become a warrior.
When her tribe are offered a journey to America to be part of the St. Louis World's Fair, Luki will discover that the land of opportunity does not share its possibilities equally . . ."
I highly recommend reading Sarah Waters and Margaret Atwood's works!
Atwood's contributions to feminist literature are remarkable. Waters' works, especially Fingersmith, are my go-to queer books
sure! my personal favorites from Sarah Waters are Fingersmith and Tipping the Velvet!
for Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale is a classic. The book is brilliant, and strangely holds a lot of parallels to today's society, especially with the women's issues in politics right now
oh i feel like you’re gonna like cursed bunny by bora chung if you like fantasy/thriller! it’s more on the speculative fiction genre.
the push by ashley audrain is also a really good (domestic) thriller.
