I really enjoy books about women, young ladies, surviving difficult times. Some of the books I’ve read like this are:
The Help,
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,
Memoirs of a Geisha,
The Goldfinch,
All the Light We Cannot See
Can anyone suggest more books that would fit into this category? Thank you in advance.
