Bargain @ 99 cents from Amazon's exclusive AmazonCrossing translation imprint in Canada & the US (possibly the last day for these, sometimes they have specials they rotate monthly):
  • Becoming Marta by Mexican novelist Lorea Canales (Wikipedia), a translation of her coming-of-age literary novel Apenas Marta
  • Avishag by the late Israeli author Yael Lotan, an historical novel based on the titular Biblical character (Wikipedia) who was a servant to King David. Previously published by Toby Press in 2002, according to the author's memorial website.
  • Nirzona: A Love Story, a drama novel with f/m romantic elements set in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, by Indonesian writer Abidah El Khalieqy, a recipient of the Jakarta Arts Council Novel Competition Prize (Wikipedia) who has had one of her earlier novels adapted to film

@ $1.99 from Open Road Media (US-only, IIRC some Hachette imprint has the Commonwealth rights for her work) @ Amazon US, which I think is a glitch since the price @ B&N & Kobo is $3.99 ; you can request a price-match from Kobo US if you'd rather have ePub (and get points):

The Novels of Alexander the Great: Fire from Heaven, The Persian Boy, and Funeral Games 3-book omnibus of historical fiction by the late novelist Mary Renault (Wikipedia), among some of her most acclaimed books

@ $2.99 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's Mariner Books imprint (available at multiple retailers):

So You Don't Get Lost in the Neighborhood by French 2014 Nobel Prize recipient Patrick Modiano (Wikipedia), a literary noir psychological thriller translated from his Pour que tu ne te perdes pas dans le quartier
