This month, we celebrate Translated Fiction by Women Authors—a tribute to voices that cross borders, resist silence, and reimagine the shape of narrative itself. From epistolary fragments to auto fictional confession, from lyrical meditations to spare monologues, each book in this collection enacts its own quiet defiance: of genre, of expectation, of erasure.

Whether you're reclining under striped umbrellas or holed up in a breezy café, these books will transport you far beyond the horizon. Take them with you, lt them keep you company.

This reading list moves along the fault lines of memory and identity, through haunted landscapes and liminal lives. From Berlin’s rain-soaked streets to Quebec’s frozen forests, from Istanbul’s layered languages to postwar Parisian salons, these books carry voices that linger—and resonate long after the final page.

This summer, cool down with a crime novel that turns up the heat. From ghosts and gunshots to justice at the margins, these aren’t your average mysteries—they’re reckonings. Whether you're beachside, trackside, or hiding from the sun, our summer crime picks are here to haunt, thrill, and scorch.

Each title in this list offers a new way to approach the cinema—not as spectacle, but as a lived and intimate process. These are texts that understand film as a porous form: part diary, part method, part disappearance act.
