“Tangerinn is the kind of story I hope to encounter more often. In a novel where almost every character is a migrant, changing countries is practically a fact of life. It sounds like being human.”

Tangerinn is a sort of millennial coming-of-age novel—a story of blooming beyond the social images and pressures that can get confused with a meaningful life.

— Foreward Reviews, Dec 9 2025

“Anechoum debuts with the earnest story of an Italian woman exploring her Moroccan roots in the wake of her father’s death... This is worth a look.”
