Books set on islands or written by native islanders from around the world for the days you want to be surrounded by nothing but waves. Please comment missing books :)

Books written by authors from Trinidad and Tobago / set in Trinidad and Tobago. A rich, flavourful, and diverse mix of stories, all bubbling with local goodness.

read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.

note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
