I love stories about different cultures, stories that broaden my horizon and stories that have flawed characters who feel like real humans.
My favorite books that I think fit into this category are:
Pachinko – Min Jin Lee
The Kite Runner and a Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini
The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho
Siddhartha – Hermann Hesse
Nothing to Envy – Barbara Demick
Generally would love suggestions that include a setting that isn't set in the modern western world. Thank you!
