Hi all – book recs needed.
My friend is in her mid-60s and culturally Jewish. She is an absolute joy. Very kind, gentle person who genuinely is a pleasure to be around and who is always doing little acts of charity. She is very shy and doesn't like being the center of attention. She's crazy smart and has an edactic memory, so she remembers everything she's ever seen or read.
Her parents and brother died over this year, so she's in a bad state.
Her husband was recently diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer and has maybe 3 months. It's heartbreaking.
I want to get her a book that is distracting and doesn't have cancer or anyone dying, esp. from cancer.
She has watched and read a LOT of books/ media about classic film, so I have plumbed those depths a lot. She watches Hallmark 24/7 but I've given her gifts on the past related to that. I'd say she likes low-stakes stories with happy endings.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!!!
