Whether you’ve been following my journey for 20 years, or just recently found my work—welcome!
This is my story.
01 Jan 2026
Last night at the National Book Awards, I had the intense honor of sitting in a room full of magicians, people who conjure worlds on a page—and the people who bring those worlds to the world. I met authors and poets I revere and respect—Yiyun Li, Patricia Smith, Omar el Akkad—and discovered many others whose work I now plan to devour.
To have been nominated at all, let alone before MOTHERLAND was even published, was not something that had even crossed my mind. To sit in a room with all these lights and be honored as one of them was, well, otherworldly. Thank you to everyone, my friends, my family, my agent, and my publisher for helping launch me into that realm. And thank you to the winners for being our north stars.
And to get dressed up and wear my medal and have the magical @thecuriouseyes take these glamour photos of me, well, that was just a bonus dose of fairy dust.
Thank you.

My first book is out today. After 7 years, it’s finally here.
This post is for everyone who made this book possible—including all of you who’ve been following this journey.
Thank you for believing in this story. I’m so excited for MOTHERLAND to be in your hands.

The biggest feminist in my life is my dad.
Growing up, he never once made me feel that being a girl should limit what I could achieve. He was obsessed with my education and always assumed that my sister and I would be the breadwinners of our families.
It wasn’t until adulthood, while researching for my book MOTHERLAND, that I realized how rare that was.

Sometimes I shoot weddings. Congratulations @juliaioffe on your beautiful celebration at @albiwashdc. @shanecobalt did magic, the food was spectacular, and the bride and groom were luminous.

I was lucky enough to read Zahra and Amie’s book before its release, and I can’t recommend it enough. An important read about the women of Afghanistan.
The Vanishing Girl of Kabul is out now.

I thought that after my book MOTHERLAND had been out in the world for over a year, I wouldn’t get emotional holding the paperback in my hands for the first time. But it turns out, it still feels just as special.
MOTHERLAND is available now in paperback! 📖

Hoy publico en @yodona / EL MUNDO un reportaje sobre tres autoras procedentes de Rusia que desmontan el machismo tóxico del putinismo y otra alemana que explica la voluntad y capacidad de resistencia de un régimen acorralado. Sus libros ayudan a entender la relación entre la violencia contra las mujeres, la obediencia al Estado, la invasión de Ucrania y el afán de dominación y resistencia.
@juliaioffe Ioffe recorre en ‘Motherland’ la historia de las mujeres de su familia y las promesas de emancipación soviéticas. Explica cómo el poder ruso ha utilizado los derechos de las mujeres según sus necesidades y cómo Putin convirtió su imagen de hombre fuerte en un reclamo político.
Irina Novik reúne en ‘Yo, desertor’ las historias de catorce soldados que escaparon del Ejército ruso. Hombres educados para obedecer, soportar el dolor y considerar una debilidad pedir ayuda. En sus relatos aparecen también las mujeres que los rescatan, aunque el discurso oficial los presente a ellos como sus protectores.
@mariakurbak analiza en ‘Destructive Imagination’ las canciones, los chistes y las fantasías que acompañan a la guerra. Ucrania aparece como una mujer cuya independencia Moscú considera una traición y cuya voluntad cree tener derecho a doblegar.
Y @hannanotte explica en ‘We Shall Outlast Them’ cómo Rusia puede perder influencia y conservar una enorme capacidad para causar daño. El control sobre su propia sociedad permite al Kremlin sostener la confrontación y apostar por el agotamiento de Occidente.
El reportaje se publica hoy en @yodona YODONA / EL MUNDO. A partir de la semana que viene, YO DONA podrá comprarse por separado. Pronto en web.

Unreasonable Women by Justine van der Leun is, as I said in my blurb, simply unputdownable.
