Not one mention of New Zealand authors. And most NZ books can be read in English with no translation required.
On my recent reading list has been:
Unspeakable Secrets of the Aro Valley by Danyl McLauchlan (thriller)
Moon Over Martinborough by Jared Gulian (non-fiction, US author living in NZ)
A Place to Stand by Helen McNeil (debut novel)
The Ant and the Ferrari by Kerry Spackman (non-fiction)
On my to-read list:
The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton (historic novel, Canadian-born New Zealander)
Since Denmark isn't on anyone's list either, a few possibilities from my collection, mostly translated, are:
We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen (historical novel)
The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbol and Agnete Friis (novel)
Various novels by Thomas E. Kennedy, an American living in Denmark.
