Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week we’re talking about books set in countries we’d love to visit someday, and I’ve decided to exclude places I’ve been before and just focus on places I’d like to go! Hefty caveat here that not all of these books present a particularly appealing portrait of the countries in question, but these are all books I’ve read and enjoyed!
The Thorn Birds (Australia)
The Visitors (Egypt)
The Queen of the Night (France)
The God of Small Things (India)
The Sea (Ireland)
Memoirs of a Geisha (Japan)
Girl with a Pearl Earring (the Netherlands)
The Bear and the Nightingale (Russia)
Cry, the Beloved Country (South Africa)
Pachinko (South Korea)
South Africa is a great pick.
