I'm looking for recs of meaningful books that I can relate to in my current chapter of life where I'm no longer a 20-something. Specifically, focusing on women 35+ years old. I want to read other women's stories, see how they navigate life.
But I want this to be great writing. Captivating plot that pulls you in. Can be funny. Or serious. And anything in between.

The Hand That First Held Mine, by Maggie O’Farrell
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.
a “by women, for women” book that has stuck with me all the years since reading it is **I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman**.
I have a habit of immediately jumping to the next book after I’ve finished one but I sat with that one for a while before moving on. Idk if it’s *exactly* what you’re looking for but I think it’s worth a read.
