    TW; SA

    I am someone who really enjoys non-fiction, memoirs, autobiography, etc. as well as crime/mystery but looking for books that do not include/lay out graphic sexual assault and rape. I’ve picked up one too many recommended/“omg you should totally read this” books that contain these and it’s really hard for me to recover from them.

    However, I am ok with there just being mentions of SA, if it’s part of a person’s history and experience, as well as consensual sex.

    With that said, considering the types of reads I like, would anyone have book ideas/suggestions?

    EDIT: not saying books with SA in them are not or can not be good reads, just a strong preference here

      Memoirs/Bio:

      King Peggy

      A Year in Provence By Mayle

      Never Cry Wolf by Mowat

      The Man Who Never Was by Montagu

      Mornings on Horseback (or any bio OR non-fic by McCullough)

      Mystery/crime:

      There is NO Agatha Christie mystery that even touches on your trigger

      Many of the older authors of classic mystery never mention it. either. If you are interested:

      Carr’s Dr. Gideon Fell mysteries are classic “locked room”

      Dorothy Sayers and Nagio Marsh are classic golden age

      A little newer cozies:

      Jill Churchill
