For the third month of the Book Voyage reading challenge we will be reading books set in Eastern Europe and Russia.
While many of the countries in the western half of Europe are very well known to Americans, as you journey further to the east the region holds more of an air of mystery. This is true in part because the western countries have historically been easier to visit, while many of the Eastern European countries were behind the “Iron Curtain” for much of the 20th century.
The fall of the USSR, in 1991, lead to the creation of more than a dozen new nation-states, and the names and borders of countries in this region have continued to shift and change over the past several decades. Although it’s easy to lump these countries together because of their shared history, the truth is that they are extremely diverse, and we are excited to explore their unique cultures through this month’s books.
Depending on the context – geographical, political, cultural, or historical – you’ll find various answers as to which countries are classified as “Eastern Europe.” In this region, there are numerous countries, like Russia, that straddle the border between Europe and Asia. Additionally, there are numerous countries on the European continent that are considered part of the Middle East from a geo-political perspective. We will be reading books set in the Middle East for the Book Voyage Challenge later this year, so we have not included those countries on this month’s list.
For purposes of this reading challenge, we consider Eastern Europe to include the following: Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Czechia (formerly known as the Czech Republic), Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Albania, North Macedonia, mainland Greece (we are saving the Greek Islands for our month-long island journey this summer), Georgia, Chechnya, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
PS: You can read all about the Book Voyage challenge, find new book lists each month, and download your free printable map book tracker, with a color-coded map of each region here.
As always, you are welcome to choose any book set in this region that you’d like, but to help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of books set in more than 20 different countries, including many of the best Eastern European novels, some wonderful YA books set in Russia and Eastern Europe, and plenty of historical fiction, memoirs, and fascinating non-fiction reads.
We’ve worked hard to curate book recommendations that feature many Eastern European writers, and we’ve placed an emphasis on books that not only take place in Eastern Europe but also provide atmospheric descriptions that will really transport you to the country of your choice.
Throughout the list, we noted the books currently available as part of Kindle Unlimited Subscriptions.

The Things We Cannot Say
by Kelly Rimmer
Setting: POLAND
Inspired by the author's own family history, this historical fiction novel tells a tragic love story. Alina and Tomasz were best friends who planned to marry. But when their Polish village falls to the Germans, Alina doesn't know if Tomasz is alive or dead.
Decades later, Alice is struggling to support her son who was born with an autism spectrum disorder. When her grandmother is hospitalized, she begs Alice to return to Poland to see what becomes of those she loved. Alice travels to Poland and begins to uncover her grandmother's story.
The Book Girls Say… We both really enjoyed this unique look into WWII. It's not a light read, but it's still a great escape to look at what generations before us endured on a personal level. The split storyline between current times and the war is a nice reprieve from the harder 1940s scenes.

Winter Garden
by Kristin Hannah
Setting: RUSSIA
Sisters Meredith and Nina have little in common other than their love for their dear father. They've spent most of their life feeling like they didn't really know their mother, but when their father falls ill, his final wish is for his daughters to get to know their mother better. In their younger years, Anya sometimes told the girls a Russian fairy tale and night, and their father makes her promise that she will tell the story one last time - all the way to the end.
The story alternates between past and present as Meredith and Nina hear the fairy tale and also learn the harrowing story of the mother's life five decades earlier in war-torn Leningrad, Russia. They will ultimately learn a secret so terrible and terrifying that it will shake the foundation of their family and change who they believe they are.
The Book Girls Say... Like all of Kristin Hannah's novels, this book is beautifully written. It is a bit slow to start, and you may find it hard to connect with the characters at first because they aren't immediately likable, but you'll find yourself pulled in as the lines between fairy tale and reality begin to blur.

People of the Book
by Geraldine Brooks
Setting: BOSNIA
In 1996, Hanna, a rare-book expert is offered the job of a lifetime working on the conservation of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the earliest Jewish manuscripts ever illuminated with illustrations. The priceless book was rescued from Serb shelling during the Bosnian War. When Hanna discovers a series of tiny artifacts in the book's ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—she begins to unlock the book’s mysteries.
Inspired by a true story, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Geraldine Brooks has created a novel of sweeping historical grandeur. In Bosnia during WWII, a Muslim risks his life to protect the book from the German army. In turn of the century Vienna, the book has become a pawn in the struggle against the city's rising anti-Semitism. In inquisition-era Venice, a Catholic priest saves the book from being burned. In Barcelona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text sees his family destroyed by the agonies of enforced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah’s extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed.
WARNING: This book includes a scene of graphic rape.

Midnight in Chernobyl
by Adam Higginbotham
Setting: UKRAINE & RUSSIA
In the early morning hours of April 26, 1986, a reactor at the Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station exploded, triggering one of the twentieth century’s greatest disasters. In addition to causing widespread radiation poisoning, Chernobyl was also a key event in the destruction of the Soviet Union, and, with it, the United States’ victory in the Cold War.
Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews conducted over the course of more than ten years, as well as letters, unpublished memoirs, and documents from recently-declassified archives, Higginbotham provides a powerful investigation into Chernobyl and how propaganda, secrecy, and myth have obscured the true story of one of the history’s worst nuclear disasters.
The Book Girls Say... This work of non-fiction is written by a journalist and includes lots of technical details, but overall it reads more like a movie script. It was named one of NPR’s Best Books of 2019.

A Constellation of Vital Phenomena
by Anthony Marra
Setting: CHECHNYA
This bestseller was commonly noted as one of the best books of 2013. The book weaves between the story of five days in the life of 8-year-old Havaa, who is orphaned when Russian soldiers kidnap her father, and the larger story of two Chechen Wars that took place from 1994 to 2004.
When a neighbor finds Havaa in the forest, he takes her to the abandoned hospital, where only one doctor, Sonja, remains. Sonja is already overburdened and has no desire to add to her responsibilities, but then unlikely companionship forms between the three characters.
Most describe this book as beautifully written, but some have trouble following the shifting timelines. You’ll want a lighter-right after this one, but most reviews say it’s worth meeting these characters and learning about a lesser-known piece of history.

What a great list! I would not have found these titles on my own! Obviously a lot of work behind the scenes. Helpful descriptions, too. Much appreciated.
