#SetInYourHometown
blurb

I live in quite a small place between some towns and cities in Yorkshire. Best entry I can provide for #SetInYourHomeTown is this book by Kate Atkinson which is set in the nearby (25 Miles) city of Leeds, or could look at the DI Joe Plantagenet books by Kate Ellis set in Eborby (fictional version of York - 39 Miles). Two excellent female authors. #ReadingWomenMonth

Plenty of great women writing books written in beautiful, apparently crime-ridden, morally ambiguous Edinburgh... #setinyourhometown #readingwomenmonth @thereadingwomen

Edit: Oopps! Blunder 🙄. Obviously not written by a woman, but set in my hometown.

erzascarletbookgasm @batsy No, I haven‘t. I‘ve already added! 6y

I‘m not aware of any books set in my tiny Iowa hometown, but this amazing little book is set in a fictional Iowa small town. Reading Gilead put me so in mind of the older people that I knew while growing up that it almost felt like home. I loved this whole series—not really very eventful or plot-driven, but gorgeously written character studies. ❤️

Reecaspieces I agree..the characters are super in this one especially. But very little plot 6y
Shelbelle94 I adore Marilynne Robinson. Everything she writes gets to me like no one else. 6y
Suet624 I‘m with you. I love her stories. 6y
