To ask which books have actually changed your life?

For me Marie kondo's book or the power of now had a lasting impression but both need re-reading currently

Yours?

Beyondthepage Jung Chang's Wild Swans for me too, and we wondered why Chinese people were inscrutable.

Also Doris Lessing's Martha Quest series starting with The Grass is Singing, again I learnt so much about women and other lives (Rhodesia).

Under the eye of the clock by Christopher Nolan. Beautifully written insight into a mother's faith and a son's blossoming.

An Evil Cradling: Brian Keenan's account of his time as a hostage in Lebanon, exquisitely written and full of humanity.

Two more books: Elisabeth Luard
Family Life: Birth, Death and the Whole Damn Thing
I loved for her love and loyalty and the food.

And when I first visited New York I had to walk across Brooklyn Bridge for Francie Nolan from A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
