Welcome back to my first non-Sunday post in far too long! When I first saw this week's prompt-- books that take place in another country-- I figured it was going to be difficult. Most of the books I read are set in the US. But when I had a look through my Goodreads list, I found it surprisingly easy to rummage up five books set in non-USA locations!
- The Lost Girls
- This is a travel memoir written by three friends who spend a year traveling the world-- it was an interesting read!
- The Scribe of Siena
- This book is set in Medieval Italy and follow the journey of one woman thrown hundreds of years back in time.
- My Life in France
- This memoir of Julia Child's life was engaging-- and made me want to get into the kitchen and cook more! Ironically few of the dishes she described were ones I would want to make (most were very heavy with tons of cream and butter).
- Song of a captive bird
- This fictionalized memoir is about Iranian poet Farough and it was a wonderful, riveting read.
- The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club
- This is a fast paced easy-to-read novel about a woman who finds herself suddenly a single mother raising two precocious boys in England. It was fun, but I haven't been motivated to seek out the sequel just yet.
That's it for me! What are your favorite non-USA books?
