Girls Burn Brighter: “… a painful and riveting novel … with so much fire and grace it should speak to readers all over the world.” —Anita Felicelli, San Francisco Chronicle review.
The Beautiful No “… a roadmap for transformation — an honest, funny, and soulful look at what it really means to take stewardship over your own existence.” — Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
The Old Drift: “A dazzling debut, establishing Namwali Serpell as a writer on the world stage.”—Salman Rushdie, The New York Times Book Review
White Devil’s Daughters “…an inspiring and, yes, heroic struggle against a barbaric practice . . . a usefully broad view of the fight against slavery in San Francisco’s Chinatown, one especially effective in giving voice to previously underappreciated figures.” —Gary Kamiya, The New York Times Book Review
