8 thrillers with global majority characters

'Being one of the boys was one thing. Being the boss of the boys was someyhing else altogether.'

At Sea is the debut adult novel from the award-winning Y.M. Abdel Magied - author of Lighthouse favourite Talking About a Revolution - and others. It's the perfect literary thriller for our times: a paced and sharp, claustrophobic tale of impossible choices and the machismo of Big Oil. It's political to the bone and hugely, hugely entertaining.

With its protagonist, expert driller Zainab, as a starting point, we curated this wee list of exquisite thrillers to discover, all with truly bad ass global majority characters.

Join us to explore and celebrate At Sea with Yasmin and chair Rachelle Atalla, on Tuesday 30th June! Tickets are here.
