Hi all. I have just resigned from my job after a really really hard going time. I haven't had time to read a book in a couple of years. I have a few weeks now to focus on myself and try and decompress so I want to line up a stack of books. I have a few criteria and would be really really grateful for any recommendations.
I'm looking for something that is totally gripping and compelling with a real good story but that isn't hard to get into (my brain is a little fried). I also don't want anything too depressing. My favourite ever book was secret history but I didn't get on at all with either of her other books which I found hard going. I want to be totally absorbed.
I'd really welcome any suggestions. The sort of book you feel sad when you've finished because it was so wonderful...
Thank you!
