This is meant as a possible TBR for me, meaning I haven't read these books! I were looking for translated fiction by women that interested me and wanted to focused on books that are not that well known and i thought others might find this list helpful 🥰

Because WIT month is meant to uplift womens voices that often get buried in (translated) publishing, i also find important to highlight the voices of woman that decided (or in some cases probably were pretty much forced to) to write in english but are not based in a Western English speaking countries and therefore also often don't recieve the attention they deserve.

So here are a few more books that are not set in the us/uk etc. but are in English originally:

*Kate Pedroso- Mnemonics (The Philippines)

Aimee Phan- The Reeducation of Cherry Truong (Vietnam)

Bessie Head- When Rain Clouds Gather (Botswana/South Africa)

Ovidia Yu- The Frangipani Tree Mystery (Singapore)

Neshani Andreas- The Purple Violet of Oshaantu (Namibia)

*Carolina De Robertis- Cantoras (Uruguay)

An Yu- Ghost Music (China)

Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi- A Girl Is A Body of Water (Uganda)

Ayòdélé Olófintúadé- Lákíríboto (Nigeria)

Ayanna Lloyd Banwo- When We Were Birds (Trinidad and Tabago)

Rashmii Amoah Bell- My Walk To Equality (Papua New Guinea)

Saswati Sengupta- The Song Seekers (India)

*Wame Molefhe- Go Tell The Sun (Botswana)

*Marylyn Tan- Gaze Back (Singapore)

Kunzang Choden- Tales in Colour (Bhutan)

Lorna Goodison- By Love Possessed (Jamaica)

Flora Nwapa- One Is Enough (Nigeria)

YZ Chin- Though I Get Home (Malaysia)

*Azeenarh Mohammed- She Called Me Woman (Nigeria)

Ooooh!!! I think it can be pretty intense! Makes her quite the passionate person! Someone who’s endearing yet abrasive! Someone with an air of independence but a earthy and grounded mentality and presence. Someone who is more on the rougher and more raw type when it comes to make up and beauty so she may wear less makeup and mainly only focus on light eyeliner to heavy eyeliner aesthetic! The ruffled and or mangled hair and gritty big cheesy smiles! Someone who is usually into a more aggressive romance that has a tinge or the “chase” and “ capture” theme going on!

Someone who might be more on the thicker and curvy side when it comes to the waist line area and may be a more sensual and dramatic lover! Can have heated romances with very heated and aggressive men and women!
