Top Ten Tuesday : Books That Take Place In Another Country

Allyson will pass today from this list because she doesn't have any book in mind at the moment that the story takes place in other countries, so I will be the only one doing the list today.
And  most of the books that I read that take place in other countries are WW2 books. So most of my list will be all WW2 books.
Enjoy it.

There was no doubt that this will be the top of the list!

The Bronze Horseman books by Paullina Simons

 I am obsessed with this series! There are so many emotions in this books you can't even handle them hahaha. I wish everyone would read them.






Wait For Me by Caroline Leech.
This book is about a German prisoner that was sent to Scotland to work in a farm , there he meets the farmer's daughter and of course the love story starts there. And I also love this book so much. I loved Paul!



The Soldier's Wife by Margaret Leroy
 This story takes place in Guernsey, this one I did not quiet get the location very well hahaha. I think it is off the French costs but it belongs to the British. I never heard of it until I read this book.
Anyway Vivianne's husband is out fighting the bad guys, she stayed in the island living with their daughter and mother in law, and of course the nazis invaded the island and a few officers were to live next to Vivianne's house, so she meet Ghunter  , a German Soldier and she started a relationship with him.






Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

This one was abvious it would make it to the list! I don't think it needs introduction!






In Farleigh Field by Rhys Bowen

This book surprised me! I really enjoyed it, a good book about spies during WW2 this one took place in England. 



Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys...

This story took place between Lituania and Russia. It is so heart breaking.I remember one night that I was reading it , I made myself some hot chocolate with some cookies and I could not have any because I was feeling guilty that these poor people were freezing and hungry and I was so comfy on my couch with cookies and hot cocoa and a blanket.These poor people suffered so much.







Is it day or Night? by Fern Schumer Chapman
This story takes place between germany and the USA.
Is about a Jewish girl that was sent from Nazy Germany to live in the USA with family that she did not know. It tell you the true events of this little girls, you can look it up on youtube her story





Suit Francaise by NEMIROVSKY IRENE
 This book I haven't read it YET but I am planing on it.  I did watch the movie and I fell in love with it, with Bruno! Such a great love story. Takes place in France, can't remember the name of the town that was invaded by the Nazis.
The author of this book was a Jewish woman living in France, I believe that she was writing this book when she got taken away to Auschwitz  concentration camp where she died. One of her daughters kept the manuscript of this book and a lot of years later she finished the work her mom started.




 Here is the movie trailer:

  3. Suite Francaisse is one of the best books I've ever read. You need to read that book soon.

    I'm always on the lookout for books from other places. Thank you for your list!

  7. I completely forgot to add Between Shades of Grey to my list but I think it is fabulous and not a setting often used in books.

  8. I didn't even think of the books I've read that are WWII based! Recently I've read a lot of cozy mystery and psychological thrillers and most of them have been based in or around England. Nearly my entire list if filled with Great Britain! Lovely post!

    1. You really need to read The Bronze Horseman and it isn't only about the epic love story, it is about what people went thought during WW2 in Leningrad. While I was reading it I wished to have some kind of super power to make me travel into the book and take warm food and blankets and clothes and shoes to the characters to help them suffer less.
      Same with Between Shades of Gray , just make sure you have tissues while you read it.

  21. Great list! I know a lot of people who love The Bronze Horseman so I may have to check it out someday. Thanks for stopping by the blog!

  22. I'd never heard the story of how Suite Francaise was written, that's so sad but incredible. The film is on my Netflix queue and it's something I do want to watch sooner rather than later.

    ReplyDelete
  23. REALLY (really) want to read Wait for Me. Alas, I haven't gotten around to picking the pretty up. Hopefully soon. :) Also, a while back I was going to watch the Suit Francaise adaptation, but have kind of forgotten about it. Probably a good thing since I'm not a fan of sad stories.

    Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland!!
