I love reading books from around the world, either classic or contemporary literature. I learn a lot about history and different cultures. One of my favourite books is pachinko, ehich is korean and I always try to read from different countries. I would love some recommendations from your country or maybe others that you have read 🙂

I’m from Australia and would recommend The Secret River by Kate Grenville. It’s about early colonization and shows the dark side of our history with Aboriginal people. Pretty confronting but important read. Also Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet is a classic that captures suburban Australian life really well.
I’m from Canada. I’d recommend Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese or Five Little Indians by Michelle Good.
Philippines: The Woman Who Had Two Navels – Nick Joaquin, America is in the Heart – Carlos Bulosan.
Where are you from, OP?
