Palate cleanser – POCs not being miserable
I just read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi, and both the Ministry of Utmost Happiness and The God of Small things by Arundhati Roy and y’all. I’m so sad.
(All are great books and the God of Small things is absolutely transcendently beautiful – but so sad!)
Can someone help me with a palate cleanser? A lighter read preferably with brown people NOT being miserable?
I love the #1 ladies detective agency. I read Binti, wasn’t too impressed but gladly welcome Sci Fi and fantasy. I think Becky Chambers characters are POC, I enjoyed the first Wayfarers book.
Pls no more sexual assault and rape I’m burned out

Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers (if you want more Becky Chambers)
I loved *Americanah* by Chimanada Ngozi Adichie. It definitely addresses race and racism, but it is not a sad, tragic book.
Romance is the way to go! Try Talia Hibbert.
The Perveen Mistry books by Sujata Massey might be a welcome palate cleanser for you (while still featuring a headstrong WOC)
