To ask for relaxing funny uplifting book recommendations having just finished Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank you and looking for something in a similar vein?

Yup I loved it .....Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank You: The most feel good, page-turning and joyful fiction book of 2020!

And I'm looking for something similar - warm uplifting well-written read with gentle humour and a full dose of kindness....

What are your suggestions?

I'm NOT looking for chicklit/romances, nor something poorly written ... just something to curl up with as satisfying as a warm bath with a glass of something good on the side

Anyone???

You’ve not described what that book is about so don’t know how close this is to what you want. One of my favourite uplifting books is “the little old lady who broke all the rules” - it’s funny, it’s really engaging and does make you think a little bit about the way society sees older people. There are three books in the series and I can recommend them all but the first is definitely the best.

A Man Called Ove

The Keeper of Lost Things

Love Nina by Nina Stibbe

I don't know the book or author but I love Freya North and her characters are very quirky, if that helps. Also Mike Gayle is brilliant too

Is that an Eleanor Oliphant type book @loveyouradvice?

Old Baggage by Lissa Evans.
Any of Jane Gardam's novels.
Dear Mrs Bird - can't remember who wrote it, but it's a lovely light read!

Try The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and The 5 People you Meet in Heaven. Also fried green tomatoes at the whistlestop cafe.

I’ve not read Eudora but I wonder if Eleanor Oliphant is Absolutely Fine (Gail Honeyman) would fit the brief. PP has mentioned it too. One of my favourite books.

Makes you wonder how the author got away with the rip off title!

Yes, it really is a rip-off title!
