Need recs - I love memoirs, female writers, diverse writers

So my to-read list has gotten a bit thin lately, and I need some new recommendations, please! Thank you in advance!!! If I don't have a good book to read, I go crazy - nobody wants that. 😄

I tend to love memoirs, female writers, and diverse writers, but I also love non-fiction about history. Some of my favorite authors are: Elena Ferrante, Magda Szabo, Rachel Cusk, Claire Keegan, and Amelie Nothomb.

These are some of my favorite books that I read in the last 5 years:

Song of a Captive Bird - Darznik

The Good Daughter - Darznik

The Girl Who Smiled Beads - Wamariya

Open, Heaven - Hewitt

Accabadora - Murgia

A Girl Returned - Di Pietrantonio

Long Bright River - Moore

The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit - Lagnado

Trespases - Kennedy

Diary of a Void - Yagi

Solito - Zamora

The Return of Faraz Ali - Ahmad

Nervous Conditions - Dangarembga

The Death of Vivek Oji - Emezi
