Something like One Day?

Like the rest of the world and it's wife, I've been zooming through One Day on Netflix, and it's reminded me how much I enjoyed the book. Can anyone recommend something similarly engrossing (nothing dark or disturbing please). I haven't read anything that's really gripped me in what feels like years!

"Versions of Us" by Laura Barnett has a One Day feel. "Hamnet" by Maggie O'Farrell deserved all of the hype a couple of years ago. "Bournville" by Jonathan Coe is a good easy read - my favourite Christmas present book. And I've just reread my favourite ever novel, "Moon Tiger" by Penelope Lively. Hope you find something you enjoy from someone"s suggestions, come back and tell us. 😀

I liked the versions of us by Laura Barnett. It tells the story of the same couple in three different ways. Maggie O’Farrell’s the hand that first held mine is wonderful. Two different story lines from different eras. And I really enjoyed the garden of lost and found by Harriet Evans.

Or did you mean books? Sorry. I just read Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingslover and I loved it.

Sorry, I meant book recommendations (although I did love both Love and Six Feet Under!). I seem to find finding things to watch much easier than finding things to read.
