I'm currently reading Life after Life and The Bee Keeper of Aleppo. Both excellent but heavy. I found out today my youngest daughter will be needing open heart surgery in a few months. I could do with some uplifting funny comforting reads. I've recently re-read all the Austen novels. I like The Rivers of London Series, Enjoyed the Thursday Murder Club recently and also like some funny chick lit. Any ideas?

There's a sequel to the Thursday Murder Club called the Man who died twice and it's excellent

I like Jane Fallon books for this sort of thing. Taylor Jenkins Reid (Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Daisy Jones and The Six etc), The Rosie Effect, The Cactus, Needlemouse, loved The Magpie Murders, Miss Benson's Beetle.

Veronica Henry writes some fun, happy novels set usually in Devon. Hope all goes well with your daughter, love.
