The Most Popular Book Set In Every Country
NetCredit made an algorithm and used Goodreads’ ratings to figure out the most popular book set in every country. In the bigger picture takeaway the most popular book set in South America is Isabel Allende’s The House of the Spirits and Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner is the most popular book set in the Middle East and Central Asia.

On the upswing, Like Water For Chocolate was the most popular book set in Mexico.
