There has been a lot moving in my personal life lately around the past, sentimentality, yearning for things that are no more, and how to integrate that into peaceful meaning for the present and future. I’ve been struggling with a health condition that has kept me at home and away from my friends and family, and so really looking for a book that sheds wisdom on life changes and and making the most of the present.
Count Rostov has been a wonderful friend over the last couple of months while I’ve slowly made my way through this epic read. I’ve love how it has been explorative, world-opening (in the form of all the art, literature and philosophical weaving it does) and how it’s had a lovely focus on the transitions of life and coming to peace with what is.
Looking for a book that is similarly world-opening, expansive, thoughtful, warm and inspiring, whilst bringing something new and different to the table from the book I just read.
p.s. I’ve read that House on the Cerulean Sea is quite a nice book, so I may give that a try. Any thoughts?
