[quote=Anonymous]OP, reporting back, to express kudos to all on being 3 for 3. Guided by nothing beyond your suggestions and the availability of titles on audiobook on Libby, I’m now through Thus Was Adonis Murdered (charming, and I liked the erudite wordiness though I spent the first fifth unable to tell apart the British barristers). Then Tom Lake, which was lovely - although a significant share of the comfort perhaps should be attributed to Meryl Streep's voice itself! (I suppose it was a bit meandering for folks who want something faster-paced).

I also heard/read A Gentleman in Moscow, and while I initially was cursing the PP who recommended it, because there really is no plot whatsoever for the first, say, 75 pages, it was great and ended up my favorite. It definitely fit my (perhaps unspoken) wish for a truly [i]good [/i]protagonist—who at the same time was interesting & not too twee or Disney-fied.

Any more recs DCUM?  (I just received Long Way to a Small Angry Planet).
