I hope you are feeling better, Alison. I just finished Breasts and Eggs, by Mieko Kawakami. I haven't yet figured out how I feel about it. Also can't wait to watch season 2 of The Bear, but have to finish season 3 of The Great first!
Alison, have you read any of the Wyndham & Banerjee books by Abir Mukherjee? A mystery series set in the period immediately post-WWI in India. A different look at the British Raj through the eyes of an Indian, with a bit of magical realism, well developed characters, and really good writing.
I haven't gotten to Demon Copperhead yet, but just finished The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek - set in roughly the same region during the Depression, and it is so, so good.

The one good thing about Covid is it gives you plenty of time to consume content. I liked Brest and Eggs, though it’s an odd book.

Clearly I have to watch "The Bear."
Hope you're feeling better, Alison!!
I have not heard of the Mukherjee books, so will definitely check them out. They sound like great Gorge books!
What a love sonnet to reading... I'm also watching "The Bear" and read "Demon Copperhead" a while ago - wonderful, lifechanging book.
I'm going to finish The Bear tonight!
