Recs if you like Free: A Child and a Country at the End of History...

I have been collecting (and reading) a long list of memoirs, autobiographies and biographies about women who had fascinating lives. I thought I might as well make it a list! A lot of them I have read and enjoyed, some are from my TBR. I am especially fascinated by 18th-19th century women's stories, so there will be a lot of those. And women from diverse backgrounds. Open to suggestions!

Enjoy my newest lit series ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

A list inspired by (and copied from) @cortneyhenningnovak, including (mainly) fiction reads from every country in alphabetical order! Any suggestions and add-ons welcome to expand the list🫶

11 countries including:

Afganistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria & Azerbaijan ❣️

1 Memoir from every country. Feel free to comment if you have a suggestion!

I challenged myself by creating this list of readings. I am saving one book or two per country. The books can be classics, thrillers, fantasy, science fiction, contemporary novels...
