20 Must-Read Books Set off the Beaten Path

"I've always loved reading books set in remote locations. There's something about characters living on small islands, in isolated communities, and in other far-flung locations that activates all of my escape fantasies. Isn't it fun to imagine living alone on a tiny island or in an unusual place few people visit? (I am sure the reality is quite different and much less romantic.) If you, too, enjoy dreaming about escaping it all, here's a book list for you: must-read books set in remote locations, far off the beaten path."
