If you're still interested in tips for countries you haven't covered I would recommend: <br /><br />La femme de Gilles by Madeleine Bourdouxhe (Belgium) a short book about a housewife dealing with her husbands adultery. https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2017/03/03/la-femme-de-gilles-by-madeleine-bourdouxhe/ <br /><br />Detective Muller by August Groner (Austria) a series of detective stories with an interesting detective at the center https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/detective-muller-by-auguste-groner/<br /><br />Marie Under, who was a poet from Estonia who published poems during a very critical time in Estonian history https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2016/12/30/poems-by-marie-under/<br /><br />Miss Majoribanks by Margaret Oliphant (Scotland, I wasn't sure about this one as I don't know if you mean UK when you say English), but the book is quite similare to Emma, but with a more well rounded (in my oppinion) character at the center https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/miss-majoribanks-by-margaret-oliphant/<br /><br />Lieutenant Nun by Catalina De Erauso (Spain) a autobiographical book about a girl raised to be a nun who runs away from her convent, dresses as a man and travels to America (the continent, not US) https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/lieutenant-nun-by-catalina-de-erauso/<br /><br />The House of Ulloa by Emilia Pardo Bazán (Spain) a psycological thriller about what happens when the gentry are alone too long in the country side, and what happens to the people ropped into their lives https://lesserknowngems.wordpress.com/2016/10/23/the-house-of-ulloa-by-emilia-pardo-bazan/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-16920623374924545422015-12-19T17:20:30.706+11:002015-12-19T17:20:30.706+11:00I'm always happy to have an Aussie author/book...I'm always happy to have an Aussie author/book to look forward to :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-40145816429949101962015-12-18T22:05:16.401+11:002015-12-18T22:05:16.401+11:00You probably don't want another Aussie author,...You probably don't want another Aussie author, but I read 'Generations of Men' by Judith Wright about 10 years ago & liked it enough to want to re-read it, which I haven't done yet.
