Shoot, I just read Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi and thought I could put it down for Australia, unfortunately the bigger part of the book plays in the US...

I may be wrong but I don't think it has to be where the majority of the book takes place. I think the rules state that a "significant" part of the book must take place there.

Corinna, Lahni is right. You can claim Unbearable Lightness as Australia.

Thanks for the info Lahni and Diane, so I'll put Unbearable Lightness down for an australian book. 2 more are on my to read list anyway, so I should be able to claim the country anyway ;)
