My wife has never been a big reader but lately she's been reading more and enjoying it. She does not like reading about conflict or anything bad happening to people — she had enough of that in her life, she doesn't want to seek it out — so I'm looking for things like that. I asked for specifics and she said:
"Most people have periods of their life where nothing bad happens to them or their loved ones and there’s no big cloud hanging over them. I want to read about those periods. I don’t need there to be some big lesson or turning point. I just want to read about people’s happy lives.
"I don’t enjoy reading about bad/mean/unpleasant people. I want to read about the good people. I like learning about how people in different societies and times and places live. But through good people living happy lives. It really doesn’t matter much if it’s fantasy/romance/adventure/historical…. As long as it has good people that nothing bad happens to."
All suggestions are welcome.
