#TopTenTuesday: Nationalities in the Title

We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is: Books With Nationalities In The Title (e.g. The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Mexican Gothic, An American Mariage, etc.) (submitted by Cathy @WhatCathyReadNext)

I almost skipped today because I think my list is going to be fairly boring? I don’t read a lot of contemporary, litfic or non-fiction, so there aren’t usually nationalities mentioned in the titles of the books I read. Maybe I’ll surprise myself and see that I’ve got a lot more nationalities than I expected though. Let’s see if my prediction is true or not!

An English Bride in Scotland by Lynsay Sands
One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Indonesia, Etc. by Elizabeth Pisani
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Born A Crime: Stories From A South African Childhood by Trevor Noah
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami
The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
Yakuza: A 400-Year History of the Japanese Underworld by Andrew Rankin
The Typewriter and the Guillotine: An American Journalist, A German Serial Killer, and Paris on the Eve of WWII by Mark Braude

Okay, so one slight cheat and one nationality repeat—the result wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be! I low-key thought I’d only be mentioning one or two nationalities at most, lol.

  1. Rebecca’s is one I need to read about. It sounds like it could be a good read, and every time I see Mexican Gothic on a list, I am curious. It definitely looks intriguing. 🙂
