I’m looking for a cosy, autumnal book, possibly based around family dynamics or small town community but not cheesy or dumbed down. More of a literary read than a light read but not depressing either!
It’s so hard for me to find something that will help me escape the negativity of the real world at the moment that isn’t lacking in substance too.
I hope I explained what I’m looking for properly, looking forward to some suggestions to explore!

Lark rise to candleford.
Absolutely fuck all happens, but in a beautiful, pastoral setting. Contemporary fictionalised amount of 19th century Oxfordshire

Ooh… I think Little Women definitely meets the criteria?!
Not depressing? I’ve got nothing unless it’s OK if it’s depressing but that ends up OK.
Remarkably bright creatures – very cosy and still not dumbed down ☺️
