I think SM thinks the theme is a Russian based book. I think she may have misread it.

Sorry for any confusion, folks. Books set primarily in the European portion of Russia should NOT be nominated. So Shogun and the rest are fine.

Yes. Nothing to do with Russia.

Absolutely not!
I wondered if I'd got the wrong end of the stick too...
So to choose from I guess we have: Central and South America, Africa, the Near, Middle and Far East, Russia east of the Volga, India, Australia...hope I haven't missed a continent somewhere...

I've already nominated, but does the Crimea qualify? There might be some interesting options there.

I don't know if a book written in the 50s that takes place in the 20s qualifies, but since I know it's somewhere in the hidden recesses of my home, I'll nominate John Hersey's "A Single Pebble" about an engineer traveling the Yangtze looking for a suitable dam site. Last I checked it was still in print.
If that doesn't qualify, I'll nominate one of those niggling classics I haven't read: Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge of San Luis Rey".

Geography wasn't my strong point in school, folks. If it's here, it qualifies unless someone protests.
