    Some information to contextualise my request:

    I'm a queer person fighting to stay in a country where it's safe for me to exist freely, but that hasn't been going well so far.

    I'm a woman trying to run from familial abuse and the spectre of a loveless/ forced marriage, but that hasn't been going well so far either.

    I'm in danger and burned out and very depressed, and in a state where reading books and consuming media about people like me in places (real or fictional) where they're safe and free consumes me with envy and bitterness instead of giving me hope.

    But I'm also in a place where reading about people like me who are fighting hit too close to home, and I can't handle it.

    I need something else entirely. My cognitive capacity is pretty shot, so preferably nothing too dense. I've been trying to make it through The Hobbit and LOTR without success.

    In the past I've enjoyed Piranesi, Breasts and Eggs, Earthlings…there's more, but I'm not able to recall right now.

    I need a book that feels fundamentally kind. Something like Piranesi would be good. Something that feels like a daydream, and easy to read, and completely removed from real life.

    Thank you
