We have a child living in Taiwan and have been been reading books on the island's history. There are not enough that are well-researched, highly readable, and in English.

First off I would have said everything was good enough. But you made me think dammit.
There is a definite shortage of books both fiction and non about other (non-English speaking) cultures. Even a fiction book written by a non resident or a translation, provides some insight into lives and lifestyles we are unfamiliar with. Many good ones exist but not enough and not many for some cultures.
