I can seriously recommend The Return by Hisham Matar and Another Day in the Death of America by Gary Younge. A great mixed bag of non-fiction literature in this year's Orwell Prize longlist.

The Orwell Prize is Britain’s most prestigious prize for political writing. Here is the 2017 longlist:

"This is the story of a woman who has been discarded and who will not go down gently. If ever there was an unsung heroine of feminist literature, it is the amazing Jean Rhys."
