Recs if you like I Was Never the First Lady...

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!

Fiction Books set in Cuba

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.
