I just finished the house of the spirits by Isabel Allende and I loved it so much. I also recently read the poisonwood bible by Barbara Kingsolver, which I also loved, and thought it had quite a few similarites, and would like recommendations that are similar to both of them.
Specifically looking for books that: are set in countries other than america or the uk (or I suppose most of western europe); have multiple different points of view, in these two they are multiple people in the same family which I liked, but isn’t necessary; I really liked the historical-ish setting, both books give you a lot of background about the countries and politics during the time period they are set, without the characters being real historical figures (I would *prefer* something set in the 20th century, but it doesn’t need to be); finally and least important- focusing on female characters/written by a female author?
If you have any books that meet some of these points or are similar to both books in other ways please give me a recommendation!
