The Island by Victoria Hislop
The Penal Colony by Richard Herley - didn't think I would like it at first.
The Winter Ghosts by Kate Mosse
Regeneration by Pat Barker
Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan
La Catedral del Mar (Cathedral of the Sea) by Ildefonso Falcones
Stasiland by Anna Funder
The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak
Every Man dies alone by Hans Fallada
Many of my favourite books are associated with places I know well (Berlin, Barcelona, Pays Cathare in France) or places I want to visit (Istanbul - going there in Feb) but these are all very good reads and some are exceptionally good IMO.
