The Road from Coorain by Jill Ker Conway about the Australian Outback. Amazing memoir. Conway eventually becomes the first female president of Smith College.

I really enjoyed A Good Provider is One Who Leaves. It's nonfiction if that influences OP one way or another.

"A Suitable Boy," which I recommend for anyone not fortunate to have read it. Yes, it's very long. I promise you'll wish it were longer.

Stolen (2009) by Lucy Christopher is set in the Australian outback and is deeply immersed in that. The place itself is almost a character in the book. Definitely worth reading.

Maybe not what you have in mind, but Colm Tobin nails the tiniest details of the Irish.

I have loved books like this. Think: Kite Runner, Pachinko, any Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Memoirs of a Geisha etc.
Any similar suggestions?
