Ooh! My first new thread.
Which Australian-set novels -- that is, novels in which the story takes place largely/wholly in Australia -- have been big sellers in the US?
I was trying to think of the ones that had sold well on the other side of the Pacific and all I could come up with were The Thorn Birds, On the Beach, and Tomorrow, When the World Began. (I'm not even sure how big those were in the US -- I'm making assumptions.) I'd also include Mutant Message Down Under, although it's set in a highly dubious version of Australia. There must be more.
Any suggestions?
