I’m in the mood for a novel that feels introspective, maybe a little melancholic, but still beautiful, something that stays with you after you close the book. I love character-driven stories, subtle emotion, and poetic language.
Books like Never Let Me Go, A Man Called Ove, or The Bell Jar hit that tone for me in different ways. Any suggestions that might evoke a similar kind of quiet intensity?
