Feature image credit: @eia_uus I like to learn from fiction—as much as I do from non-fiction—since novels are often threaded with facts and set against authentic backgrounds. I particularly like novels that recreate a way of life or a unique culture that I know I’ll find informative as well as intriguing. Sometimes, as you might expect, these are books in translation. But others open the door to places and people close to home—ones you don’t encounter in your everyday life.
