I want something immersive with good plot, characters, writing (that's easy to follow, I'm burnt out and don't want to have to think too hard) , and most importantly, doesn't read like a textbook.
The options I'm tossing up at the moment are:
-
The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon
-
Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See
-
The Song of Achilles by Madelline Miller (I dnf'd this 10 years ago, but I think I'm ready to try again)
-
As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
Also open to other suggestions! I'm open to any historical period.
