So, I’m looking for a fictional piece or novel set in the English countryside, could be London, could be Edinburgh or Scotland, where the sun is barely visible for days at end. It’s perpetually raining, and gloomy. There are those huge British houses in the middle of isolated greenery, and huge castles on top of hills, something like the Hogwarts castle. And even though it’s a bit deserted, there are pretty quaint cafes (maybe the old days’ bars) and small bookstores here and there. And there are people in hoodies and trenchcoats, a bit Sherlock-ish vibe. What a rainy day at Hogsmeade would look like. Not a typical rich NYC neighbourhood, nor very artistry like European villages. The feeling’s a bit glum like the Twilight series too, but mostly Harry Potter vibes. The genre shouldn’t be thriller or mystery or crime or sci-fi. I am looking for something melancholic, or something about the mundane life, or could be a happy book too, about life or someone. Please suggest.
