- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
- All the Light We Cannot See and Cloud Cuckoo Land are excellent.
- Some that I have read and enjoyed to give you a better idea are The Ministry of Time, All the Light We Cannot See, Normal People, The Lincoln Highway (hated, but adding it so it doesn’t get suggested), and Where the Crawdads Sing.
Cons
- We Need to Talk Abour Kevin is one she should avoid, based on her request/triggers. Same with I’m glad my mom died, Angela’s ashes, Demon Copperhead, All the Light We Cannot See, The Glass Castle
