Remote Control by Nnedi Okorafor
An alien artifact turns a young girl into Death's adopted daughter in Remote Control, a thrilling sci-fi tale of community and female empowerment from Nebula and Hugo Award-winner Nnedi Okorafor
“She’s the adopted daughter of the Angel of Death. Beware of her. Mind her. Death guards her like one of its own.”
The
day Fatima forgot her name, Death paid a visit. From hereon in she
would be known as Sankofa—a name that meant nothing to anyone but her,
the only tie to her family and her past.
Her touch is death, and
with a glance a town can fall. And she walks—alone, except for her fox
companion—searching for the object that came from the sky and gave
itself to her when the meteors fell and when she was yet unchanged;
searching for answers.
But is there a greater purpose for Sankofa, now that Death is her constant companion?

Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor, translated from the Spanish by Sophie Hughes (New Directions)
The Witch is dead. After a group of children playing near the irrigation
canals discover her decomposing corpse, the village of La Matosa is
rife with rumours about how and why this murder occurred. As the novel
unfolds in a dazzling linguistic torrent, Fernanda Melchor paints a
moving portrait of lives governed by poverty and violence, machismo and
misogyny, superstition and prejudice. Written with an infernal lyricism
that is as affecting as it is enthralling, HURRICANE SEASON, Melchor’s
first novel to appear in English, is a formidable portrait of Mexico and
its demons, brilliantly translated by Sophie Hughes.
