I host a monthly bookclub and we’re looking for a book that would fit our March theme of celebrating women’s history month & a AAPI/ANHPI author. Looking for books with these themes:
• women’s empowerment
• sisterhood
• complex female friendships
• complex family
• generational trauma/healing
• mother/daughter relationship
These are books on my list so far:
– Pachinko Korean
The mountains sing Vietnamese
The pearl that broke its shell Afghani
The island of sea women 4.32 Korean
The many daughters of afong moy Chinese
Late bloomers Pakistani
Any genres welcomed except romance since we read one for Feb.

Hidden Figures (non fiction)
The Poisonwood Bible
Flight Behavior
The Frozen River
A Thousand Splendid Suns
Stealing Buddha’s Dinner – Bich Minh Nguyen
*Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows* by Balli Kaur Jaswal would probably be a good pick! Easy reading but still has a lot of heart. It’s got a romance subplot but I don’t know that that’s the primary genre I’d categorize it as (though it’s been a few years since I read it).
The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff
The Fortunes of Jaded Women by Carolyn Huynh
