I'm looking for some suggestions for an adult book club. I've noticed we've recently been reading books that are primarily from USA or UK with white authors.
What are some good book club suggestions that will help diversify the selection? Any genre, though I prefer to not do young adult.
Ideally it takes place outside of the USA or UK and/or focuses on a non-westernized culture. This doesn't need to be the main part of the story.
