Book Recs

[slightlytookish]

Happy Holidays! Here are a few recs:

1. I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith - coming of age story set in 1930s England. I consider this book comfort food and try to reread it every year.

2. The Glittering Hour by Iona Grey - a dual-narrative book that actually kept my interest in both halves of the book (doesn't always happen!) set in 1920s and 1930s England (I think you are seeing a pattern: I have a big interest in the first half of the 20th century :p)

3. The Stationery Shop by Marjan Kamali - (I break the pattern!) This is set in a historical time and place that I know little about (1950s Iran) so that was a great interest to me (I should note that part of the book does take place in current times).

I hope you enjoy these if you read them! :)

I'm really interested in multi-narrative novels, especially those that feature large temporal shifts, so 2 and 3 are definitely of interest. Also, The Glittering Hour just sounds like a perfect read in general. I also really appreciate the descriptor of "comfort food" when given to anything that's not food, so I'm curious about the first text, too! I'll have to give them a gander.

Thanks so much for the recs, Took! <3
