This month, we will be reading and discussing Brotherless Night by V.V.Ganeshananthan, Winner of the 2024 Women's Prize for Fiction, from our International Contemporary category.

BLURB. Jaffna, Sri Lanka, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade, a vicious civil war tears through her home, and her dream spins off course as she sees her four beloved brothers and their friend K swept up in the mounting violence. Set during the early years of Sri Lanka's three-decade civil war, Brotherless Night is a heartrending portrait of one woman's moral journey, and a testament to both the enduring impact of war and the bonds of home. (348 pages).

Happy reading!
