#WIT Month: My Reads since last August

August is a fine time to immerse yourself in books by women in translation, but that doesn't mean they should be neglected the rest of the year. I read quite a number of great books last August - but there are always more!

I meant to read far more of them than I actually did over the last year, but here are the few that I've reviewed in the time between #WITMonths!

Vi by Kim Thuy, translated from the French by Sheila Fischman

Amatka by Karin Tidbeck; translated from the Swedish by Karin Tidbeck

Inheritance from Mother by Minae Mizumura; 

translated from the Japanese by Juliet Winters Carpenter

The Time of Mute Swans by Ece Temelkuran; translated from the Turkish by Kenneth Dakan

The Suitors by Cécile David-Weill; translated from the French by Linda Coverdale
