My lovely friend is going through a horrendous divorce. She lives far and among other ways of supporting her, I’d like to send her some books (that aren’t about divorce or relationships) in the post so she can enjoy thinking about something else.
Fiction or non fiction.
Maybe a fictional book that’s absolutely captivating? Or, maybe a non fiction book about awesome, powerful women? Just after any ideas really of books that can transport you, or are super informative and interesting.
thank you

One thing that helped me after my divorce -was to read things that I read as a child/ teenager- To take me back to the core person that I was before marriage!
I’m currently reading Miranda Hart’s ‘I haven’t been entirely honest with you’.
A travel book ?

That’s a really good idea, I’ll have to dig deep and see if I can remember anything from youth and what she liked.
I’ll have a look at Miranda Hart!
