Tasmania and Australia really come alive in Wildflower Hill by Kimberley Freeman, a book that had everything I love in a novel: an excellent love story, a vibrant setting, characters to love and root for, and people who change. A combination of contemporary and historical fiction, Wildflower Hill is a book I never wanted to end - it's one of those stories I wished I could hop inside and live forever. {Review}

Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta, set in Australia, and number9dream by David Mitchell, set in Japan, are 2 of my favorite books ever! I highly recommend the former as an emotionally charged read {Goodreads Reviews}, and the latter really brings really brings the atmosphere of Japan to life {Goodreads Reviews}

I loved River of Time series by Lisa T. Bergren, which is set in Italy. Incredibly picturesque and richly described. Definitely recommend it! {Goodreads Reviews}
Molli @ Once Upon A Prologue
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Although the book starts out in present day Scotland, Gabaldon takes her readers on a romantic, brave, fierce journey back to 1700's Scotland, where for protagonist, Claire, she's in constant danger as she tries to acclimate to her new surroundings. I LOVED the setting, the pacing, the love story, and the taste of Scottlish life.
Have you read any of these or have any recommendations of memoirs that are absolutely fantastic reads?
