I love books with culture clashes and fish out of water stories, or books where I get to learn about a culture or a very unique experience especially through the eyes of someone new to it. Contemporary or historical, either one, can be fiction or non-fiction. Some examples of stories I enjoyed: The Samurai's Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, Dominicana by Angie Cruz, Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, Deep Down Dark by Hector Tobar, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down by Anne Fadiman, The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin, The Hacienda by Lisa St. Aubin de Teran, Londonstani by Gautam Malkani, and The Ginger Tree by Oswald Wynd. Would love recommendations for books you think I'd like based on that. TIA!
