Whenever I’m feeling really down about the state of the world- I reread books like the Lord of the Rings, Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry (or really any Wendell Berry), and Mary Oliver Poetry.
looking for the best fiction books you’ve read with themes of hope- doesn’t matter the genre.

Remarkably bright creatures still makes me smile and its been almost a year since I first read it. I went into it with low expectations and was wowed
If you’re open to very long books, I recommend [The Hands of the Emperor](https://share.google/ID8EUnwDjqkoB35LB) by Victoria Goddard. It’s a beautifully written, slice of life book about the personal secretary to the emperor of the world, with a heavy focus on platonic relationships.
