In this interview, Irene and I discuss Lucky Girl, religion in the novel, mother-daughter relationships, what is resonating with readers the most, how much of her own experience she incorporated into Soila's story, the hardest part about writing this one, and much more.
Irene's recommended reads are:

Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour


Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

Blackass by A. Igoni Barrett
