1. Call Me Zebra by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi
The first candidate of 2018 best books to read of our list today surrounds Bibi Abbas Abbas Hosseini, the protagonist of Call Me Zebra. Furthermore, this character is probably more similar to Don Quixote and Ignatius Reilly of A Confederacy of Dunces in some way. On the other hand, this might be because she stems from a family that possess literature knowledge over other practical skills.
Moreover, her life is a picaresque adventure on par with some of the greats in literature. Also, the plot draws the darkest family tragedy with international globetrotting and grand acts of romantic pursuit. In general, Call Me Zebra is a novel in the best sense of the word filtered entirely through an idiosyncratic mind, along with sharp, smart and utterly ridiculous sentences.
2. Fresh Water by Akwaeke Emezi
Meanwhile, you can feel Akwaeke Emezi’s genuinely extraordinary debut novel. In details, Freshwater has two narrators: Ada, a young woman from Nigeria, and the trio of ogbanje gods that live inside Ada. Since Ada leaves Nigeria to attend school in Virginia, the spirits take more significant control of her body’s consciousness. From the outside world, Ada suffers from trouble and mental ills. From this original debut, Emezi shirks the conventional narrative of mental illness and starts something new entirely.
3. Force of Nature by Jane Harper
However, this novel is for any who relishes gossiping about coworkers. In details, this book is mostly coworker drama with a dramatic disappearance in the Australian. Moreover, there would be a random group of employees sets off on a corporate wilderness retreat far outside of Melbourne. After that, the female group returns hours later without Alice Martin. During the story, Harper will keep readers taut from endless cliffhangers. Therefore, Force of Nature is the kind of crime novel that will appeal to everyone.
4. Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
Meanwhile, Red Clocks is a story that’s frighteningly easy to imagine. The topic surrounds Abortion, which becomes illegal once again in America. In the story, the doctors are banned from performing in-vitro fertilisation. Furthermore, a Personhood Amendment has endowed embryos with the right to liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and life. Meanwhile, five women In a small Oregon town are forced to navigate the confines of this new world. When reading this, you feel story similar to The Handmaid’s Tale for the new millennium.
