I second!

For Migration, I nominate On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong

For World Mysteries, I'll nominate one from Chile that looks interesting:

The Neruda Case by Roberto Ampuero

I'll also mention another Brazilian mystery author in case anyone is interested in Brazilian mysteries. His first book in his series was all right, but not necessarily my cup of tea; I haven't read any others of his:

The Silence of the Rain by Luiz Alfredo Garcia-Roza

Finally, for women in translation from Western Europe, I'll nominate this one from Luxembourg:

Milly's Story: A Young Girl's Memories of the Second World War by Milly Thill

For women in translation: The Years by Annie Ernaux (France)

St Vincent and the Grenadines - The Moon Is Following Me by Cecil Browne
World Mystery - The Sound of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vásquez (Colombia)

St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Spirits in the Dark by H. Nigel Thomas
