What’s a summer vacation without a new, exciting book? Whether you’re heading to Paris for the Olympics or planning a beach trip to Lisbon, you’ll need a good book (or two) to keep you company. Enter the Women Who Travel book club: our quarterly list of the new and trending books, written by women authors, that we’re most excited about.
As always, we asked our editors, contributors, and the well-traveled bibliophiles in our Women Who Travel network to share which highly-anticipated books they’re reading this summer. This garnered a diverse mix of titles, from deeply personal essays and heart-wrenching historical fiction to debut novels exploring identity, love, and loss. Not only will these books have you on the edge of your seat, they’ll transport you around the world, from Tehran to South Carolina. We’d love to hear which you’re reading—and which fantastic new books we missed—on Instagram or Facebook.
Below, 13 engrossing new titles to toss in your beach bag this summer.
