@Starling I've been reading a lovely, thoughtful book by Ruth Ozeki called "A Tale For The Time Being" which is really quite beautiful, actually. I would seek it out. Her 1st novel is great fun and horrifying. Read it when it first came out, years ago. That is my recommendation, my dear!
@Zoonie That sounds like an interesting book, and I'll be adding it to my list the next time I head to the library/go for a big bookshop spree. Thanks for the recommendation! 🤗
