Perhaps it's because of the difficulty in accessing and documenting immigrant experiences. Immigrants often face complex and diverse situations that are not easy to capture accurately. Writers may find it challenging to do justice to these stories, and as a result, fewer are written and published in books.

Cultural adaptation is also a big theme. Immigrants need to adapt to new languages, customs, and social norms. In 'The Namesake', Gogol has to learn to navigate American life while still having his Indian family's values and traditions.
A very well - known one is 'The Namesake' by Jhumpa Lahiri. It follows the life of Gogol Ganguli, an Indian - American. It shows how his family's immigrant status shapes his identity, from his name which has a complex origin to his struggle with fitting into American society while still having ties to his Indian heritage.
Immigrant books fiction often feature characters who are in a state of cultural transition. They usually have to deal with the clash between their native culture and the new culture they are exposed to. For example, in 'The Namesake', the main character struggles with his Bengali identity while living in the US. Another characteristic is the exploration of family ties. These books show how families are affected by immigration, like in 'The Joy Luck Club' where the mother - daughter relationships are shaped by the immigrant experience.
One popular one is 'The Name Jar' which tells the story of a Korean immigrant girl in an American school. Another is 'La Frontera: El Viaje con Papá / The Border: A Father - Son Journey' which focuses on the experience of a Mexican - American family.
Picture books can use vivid illustrations to show the journey of immigrants. For example, depicting the different landscapes they pass through on their way to a new land. Also, simple yet poignant text can be used to convey their emotions, like the hope and fear they experience.
Authors need to actively seek out and tell these immigrant stories. They should engage with immigrant communities, listen to their voices, and translate their experiences into engaging literature.
Another one is 'Call Me American' by Abdi Nor Iftin. It details his journey from Somalia to the United States as an immigrant, including the difficulties he faced in terms of war, leaving his homeland, and adapting to a new life in a different country. There is no inappropriate content but rather a profound exploration of the immigrant journey.
Definitely 'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins. It was a huge hit in 2014. It's a psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat with its twists and turns. Also, 'The Book of Strange New Things' by Michel Faber is an interesting read. It's a science - fiction story that combines elements of faith and exploration in a very unique way. And don't forget 'Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage' by Haruki Murakami, which is a typical Murakami - style exploration of the human psyche.
