BOOKS IN TRANSLATION

I'm looking for recommendations for translated books! I've just discovered Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk and been wowed by her books. They're not always an easy read, but a very rewarding one, and I wonder what else I might be missing. Any recommendations, anyone? I'd love to hear them.

“In the eyes of others, we’re often not who we imagine ourselves to be.”

“But here's the thing; none of us deserve anything. That's an illusion we all exist under”

“This is what a total breakdown must be, I though. You find yourself standing somewhere you should't be, doing something so out of character that you wonder if you've become someone else entirely. You've lost the plot, taken a wrong turning, jumped into a train whose destination is total lunacy”
― Gilly Macmillan, Burnt Paper Sky
