Looking for fiction or nonfiction about women who live more isolated lives by choice (not as escapism, but as a way of being). Think herbalists, artists, or introverts with rich lives, who still maintain strong, meaningful connections with family, friends, or community, just on their own terms.
I’m especially interested in how these characters (or real people) think about, and cultivate deep bonds with fewer, more intentional social interactions. Less “finding yourself in the wilderness,” more “thriving in a life that’s quiet but deeply rooted.”
I’ll be extra happy if there’s a diverse range of ages and contexts!
Not looking for personal development books.
Any recommendations?
