Over these months, I’ve lost a bit of hope in life and I’m feeling quite overwhelmed. I need a book to disconnect in my free time, one that uplifts you and hides hope within its pages.

I really enjoyed The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency. It’s set in Africa and about a woman private detective who helps people.

Consider Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon by Spider Robinson.
A series of connected short stories based in the bar you want to find with an underlying theme that “shared pain is diminished, show Joy increased”

A Man Called Ove- grouchy man who has ceased enjoying life starts to participate in it again almost against his will because of people around him.
It’s a good one because it reminds you why we need other people, but it’s not saccharine at all. The guy’s really an old crank…
