We've recently been told that my Dad has an inoperable brain tumor, and my life has changed overnight. Needless to say, I have more stress than I've ever dealt with before. I really want to focus on self-care right now so I can stay emotionally balanced, and part of that is getting into a really engrossing novel. I need recommendations! Some books I've loved are The Goldfinch, East of Eden, All the Colors of the Dark, 11/22/63, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay… basically epic novels with great writing & character development. I don't mind sci-fi but don't like fantasy or anything with magic or supernatural. Based on that – what would you recommend?
