American Dirt, American Wife, An American Marriage, French Women Don’t Get Fat, I’ll Never Be French, One Italian Summer, French Braid, French Impressions. Not as big a variety as yours!
I think I did read One Italian Summer! I DNFed French Braid. I finished American Marriage and didn’t enjoy it too much. I don’t know the others.
Well done, I don’t think I could find ten myself.
I scanned my entire read shelf and barely made 10!
I like the variety you and others found.
Thanks! 🌷
I went with place names instead of nationalities, although I do think I could have done an entire post with just French titles! Maybe I will save that for Paris in July next year!
It was more difficult to find nationalities in titles than I anticipated!
Well done, I had to fudge my list a little in the end
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
It was more difficult to find these titles than I thought!
French Braid was my LEAST liked book of Anne Tyler! So many people love it! American Wife is by Curtis Sittenfeld, many people believe it’s a veiled account of Laura Bush and it’s fascinating!
America Wife did seem like fan fiction….but not in a positive way!
i love that Kristy Cambron cover! My TTT
I do as well! 🙌
I have The Cuban Heiress on my TBR!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I hope you enjoy it!
Cuba seems like a nice place to visit.
Maybe one day! 🙌
The British Booksellers and The German Wife both look interesting. Nice list!

Good reads, both!
Great list! We both included My Italian Bulldozer, which is nice to see, as I’ve rarely seen other people even mention this book!
I had to go far back on my read shelf to find them all!
Wow, awesome list! I’m so in awe of all of you who were able to complete this topic! It feels so niche ahaha
Thanks! I had to scan deep into my read shelf to come up with 10!
I had to deep scan my own shelf just to come up with books mentioning real places, and I don’t think I had a single nationality!! XD
It’s a challenging prompt!
Well shoot! I forgot the Italian Bulldozer! lol We both had Zarna and French Hens! Great minds really do think alike!
I’ve seen Italian Bulldozer on one other list today! 👍
THE GERMAN GIRL and THE CUBAN HEIRESS are both on my list today, too. I haven’t read either one of them yet, although they’re both on my TBR list. Great list!
Happy TTT!

Good reads, both! 🙌
A great looking list. I found the prompt quite hard this week. I managed to find 9 so had to add a geographic region to make it to 10.
Have a great week!

Nicely done, Carol. I almost used the Icelandic Adventure and the Judy Leigh book. Nice choices.
Thanks! 🌷
