Top Ten Tuesday ~ Books That Take Place In Another Country



Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader GirlTop Ten Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

The following is a list of novels I have read over the years set in foreign countries. I have enjoyed reading each of these novels very much.

1. Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay - France
2. The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar - India
3. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer - England
4. Winter Men by Jesper Bugge Kold - Germany
5. I Am Livia by Phyllis T. Smith - Ancient Rome
6. The Selkie Spell by Sophie Moss - Ireland
7. The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov - Russia
8. A Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov  - Russia
9. Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol - Russia
10. A Sportsman's Notebook by Ivan Turgenev - Russia

Share with me your favorite novels set in foreign countries in the comment section below.

    1. Yes, I love Russian literature... I was a Russian language major in college, so reading Russian classics was par for the course.

  2. Since selkei is on the tittle, The Selkie Spell has selkies, right? Because if does, I'll have to read it. I adore books set in Ireland with selkies.

    Happy readings! ;)

  3. The only one I've read is the Guernsey book. Loved that one. Thinking about reading it again. Others need to be investigated. LOL

  5. I have read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, loved it, and Dead Souls, a rather tough read. I have always wanted to read The Master and Margarita.

    1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a good read. In fact, it would be a good book to reread.

      Dead Souls is a tough read, I agree. The Master and Margarita is an awesome book... I definitely need to reread it again as it has been a very long time since I've read it. There's a lot of symbolism in that I am sure went over my head the first time I read it.
