I used to delete the Nominations once the month was complete. I have started to save them in Archives starting with the Jan 2025 Nominations thread. They might be useful some day!! 😊

I nominate
Mother of Strangers by
Suad Amiry.

As to which country to use:
1. Author was born in Syria
2. the novel is set in the city of Jaffa, from 1947-1951, so first Palestine and then Israel.

I'll nominate Cutting for Stone (Ethiopia). It's available as an audiobook on my libby, so it might be for other people as well .

We are at 3 but does anyone have something else they wish to nominate? I'll post the poll on Sunday.

I don't have anything to add, except I want/hope to read all 3!

I have read Cutting for Stone and it is a great one. The other two sound like must reads also

Poll open for voting.
