Top Ten Tuesday ~ Books That Take Place in Other Countries

I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl to share today's top ten list.

I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at my shelves at how many books I have read that take place in other countries. I mostly read historical fiction, and I think that genre naturally lends itself to diverse reading. Still, most of the books I read take place in Europe, so there's always room for improvement. Here are some of my recent international favorites.

Asia/Africa/The Middle East

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Egypt's Sister

Return to Me

The Legend of Sheba

Moon in the Mango Tree

Europe

The Accidental Empress

The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill

I Was Anastasia

Last Christmas in Paris

The Distant Hours
