I saw this tweet from goodreads and thought I would like to visit several non-fictional places (I hardly read fantasy).

I would sit next to Theo and ride across the country from Las Vegas to NY in Goldfinch.

Visit 1930s Moscow as described in Master and Margherita by Bulghakov.

Prague of The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera

Botanical garden where Paulette grew in Kolkatta as described in Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh.

Horse stables somewhere in East London where Henri Lachapelle was teaching his granddaughter dressage in Horse Rider by Jojo Moyes.

And many many more!

Manderley from Rebecca. All the lush rhododendrons and the cove and the gothic beauty.

Prince Edward Island. I did, and it was perfect.

I would like to visit Narnia and Mallory Towers.

Derry.

It's a fictional town in Maine, and Stephen King returns there over and over. I am desperate to go there and terrified of being there in equal measures
