Summary:
"Reading on Location is essential for anyone wishing to learn more about a potential destination, wanting to follow in the footsteps of a much loved fictional character or desiring to experience a place through the eyes of a celebrated author or authors. Reading on Location is a country-by-country guide to books set in or about some of the world's most popular places. From the quintessential English city of Bath, featured in Jane Austen's Persuasion, to the colourful South India of Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things and the Afghanistan of Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner, Luisa Moncada and Scala Quin recommend some of the most evocative titles to read in key destinations across the world."--from cover, p.
