Happy Tuesday, readers! Today’s Top Ten topic is “Books Set in [select location].” Originally, I was going to do Books Not Set in the U.S. or England, since most of my reads are set there, but then I realized I’ve read a surprising number of books set in Germany, too. Some of these may also have other countries represented, but at least a portion of the story is set in Germany.
Note for my clean readers: Books marketed as Christian Fiction are labeled with an * below.
- The Good German Girl by Erica Marie Hogan *
- The School for German Brides by Aimie K. Runyon
- Cradles of the Reich and The Girls of the Glimmer Factory by Jennifer Coburn
- The Girl I Left Behind by Andie Newton
- The Orphan’s Tale by Pam Jenoff
- In Another Time by Jillian Cantor
- Saving Amelie and Secrets She Kept by Cathy Gohlke *
- “Born for Adversity” novella within Every Life Treasured by Aubrey Reiss Taylor *
Have you read any of these? Are there any other books set in Germany that you would recommend?
*Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog challenge hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.*

The School for German Brides looks interesting.

I love seeing Pam, Cathy, and Aimie’s books on the list! Susan Meissner’s The Last Year of the War is partly set in Germany also, and it’s one of those books that I’m still thinking about even though I read it last year. Thanks for stopping by RimSP today 🙂

I almost did a post with books not set in the US, but I couldn’t decide on anything. I think Dear Mrs. Bird is set in Germany and it was a fascinating read.
