Books to fulfill you reading around the world challenge. Ideally, the author is from the country they are writing about. Bonus points if it’s translated!

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.

Fiction books set in Jamaica
