I’m going to graduate college in May. The past 4 years have been the happiest I have ever been in my life. Although there is a lot to look forward to, I really want to steep in this nostalgic, bittersweet, crashing feeling as much as I can when I think about this period of my life ending.
I’m really looking mostly for literary fiction that’s
somewhat bittersweet, and ideally focused on women and friendship / community. I don’t mind complicated and tragic, but more hopeful endings or at least themes would be preferred! I’ve really liked Giovanni’s Room, the island of the missing trees, the enchanted April, and the bread the devil knead from what I’ve read lately.
Really, the essential part though is some reflection of what it means for something wonderful to end, and what it means to move on and toward the future.
Thank you!
