Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Books That Take Place In Another Country.
Rum & Razors – I loved this book because it was set in the beautiful island of St.Thomas!
The Nightingale – a tale of sisters set during World War II in France.
Little Black Lies – a creepy mystery in the Falkland Islands.
The Dry – beautiful imagery of the worst drought in a century in Kiewarra near Melbourne, Australia.
Hidden – a hospital shooting in Welsh.
Behind Closed Doors – not everything is as it seems with this perfect couple in Britain.
Local Girl Missing – a mystery set in Oldciffe, United Kingdom.
The Sister – one of my favourite debut novels that was set in Britain.
The Book Thief – about a young girl trying to escape death during World War II in Germany.
The Husband’s Secret – a domestic thriller that ties 3 women’s lives together in Australia.
What is your favourite book set in another country? Have you read a book based solely on it’s setting?
The Limit of Books Does Not Exist 
Great entries. I’ll have try some of your recommendations. I’ll read anything set in Florida, California or New York but I also like Rebecca M. Hales mysteries set in the U.S. Virgin Islands, particularly Aground On St. Thomas. I love Agatha Christies books when they are set in Britain but even more so when she sets them in Egypt or Barbados.

These are great choices! I don’t think I’ve ever read a book based solely on its setting, but I certainly hope to do that in the future. I think it would be a fun way to learn about places around the world.

Thank you! I agree, it would be a great way to learn more about the world. I sometimes read books based on big cities such as New York, Paris or London, but I should find more set in smaller countries!

I hardly ever papayy attention to the country it’s set in since most of the books I read have fictional settings but I try to diversify where the novel takes place. I would like to try to read more books that take place outside of London or the u.s

I realized that I read a ton of books set in Britain! I’m sure 80% of my books are based in the US or the UK
