Hi everyone, I love reading books set in Eastern Europe and I've recently been enjoying books set in Georgia, while it was still apart of the USSR. There's so many set in Russia so that's easy to find, but I'd like to branch out and read books from Romania, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and anywhere else in this region. Can be fantasy, mystery, literary, comedy. I'm up for any genre except horror and Sci-Fi. 😊

The Unbearable Lightness of Being – by Milan Kundera
The Bridge on the Drina
*Swimming in the Dark* by Tomasz Jedrowski (Poland), and *The Door* by Magda Szabo (Hungary).
The Winter Soldier is a WWI novel set on the eastern front.
Slightly out of scope but Eastern Europe I really enjoyed
[night soldiers by Alan furst](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/627614)
Set in pre ww2 the characters are heavily Eastern European involved in the murky espionage of that time. But don’t think mission impossible these characters are doing the grunt work, there is no real great heroic end. But fantastic description and journey
I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys. It’s a YA historical fiction novel set in Romania in 1989.
The Story of a Life
