Books like a warm bowl of soup

Someone I love passed away recently and his wife is struggling to find books to read to distract her. She’s not up for ANYTHING mentioning/wrestling with loss and grief. She loves spy stories, contemporary literature, and historical fiction. I think what we’re looking for right now is something well written, engaging, and cozy. She said she wants a book that feels like a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Thank you so much!
