Recs if you like When We Were Orphans...

TCKs are those who were "raised in a different culture than their parents, for a large part or the entirety of their childhood and adolescence. They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting."

These books must delve into the themes and conflicts of being a TCK and not just have a TCK. (this is different from an immigrant story, it's the generation that follows)

For people who are interested in a long-term challenge to read all of the Booker Prize longlisted books, but before 2001 there were only shortlisted books so I am going to separate these into two different lists. Please see the pinned comment for the 2001+ companion list link and the winners for each year!

Every book shortlisted for the Booker Prize since it was founded in 1969, under its current title and previous names, the Man Booker Prize and the Booker Prize for Fiction. I want to hear your percentage overlap in the comments!
