*For our featured world country selection (this month its Georgia): If the book selected by popular vote is not written by a native or resident author, the book written by a native/resident author with the highest votes will also be selected, resulting in two book selections for that country.

For North India I nominate The Folded Earth by Anuradha Roy

I don't have any immediate thoughts about the other regions, but I might come back and add some nominations for those. Thank you!

I initially found three Georgia novels that intrigued me but each was 500+ pages and, in my experience, participation dwindles in the face of that kind of commitment. Hence, I'm going in a different direction.

For Georgia, I nominate Georgian Folk Tales, first published in 1894 and translated by Marjory Wardrop.
