"Jha is an exceptionally sharp and empathetic chronicler of stories and people that morph form as they journey between countries. Her formidable skills, journalistic and literary, come brilliantly together in Foreign." - Kiran Desai, Booker Prize-winning author of The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny
"Sonora Jha's Foreign moved me in the deepest places. A novel that bears bracing witness to the outrageous, enraging costs of racialized domination and capitalist exploitation, while simultaneously cultivating the seeds of hope and resistance. Katya moves between the worlds of American academia and Western privilege and the failing cotton farms of central India, on a quest to find her son that widens and deepens into a movement for justice and healing at a global scale. I was awed by the transformative love that powers Foreign, and I hope everyone reads this superb, lifeward story." - Karen Russell, bestselling author of The Antidote
"Foreign by Sonora Jha is a thrillingly fast-paced novel that dramatizes the biggest issues of our time: displacement, rural indebtedness, activism, and the fracturing of family life. This is a bold work that wears its research lightly." - Karan Mahajan, author of The Complex
