8 Must-Read Books by Latinx Authors

Five women — Romina, Flaca, Anita, Paz, y Malena — find each other in 1977 Uruguay, during a military government that is used to repress political dissent. They will be tested by society, their families, lovers, and everyone who sees them try to live authentic lives. Described as a "breathtaking portrait of queer love, community, forgotten history, and the strength of the human spirit," Cantoras ($16) is a tale about women with fire in their souls, fighting until the end for the right to be themselves.
