The Overstory -Richard Powers

Radiance of Tomorrow - does deal the aspects of civil war, but I did not find it to be depressing.


2 States: The Story Of My Marriage - loved this a love story from the male's perspective.


It's What I Do- some intense moments but I didn't find it overwhelming

+1 Don't watch the movie, it stinks. If you have watched the movie, read the book.

Yes! Also Commonwealth. I.will probably read Bel Canto before 2021.

Tom Hanks does a great job narrating The Dutch House FWIW.

I think Bel Canto is probably her best.

All the Light We Cannot See---WWII book, but both magical and moving.

Interesting -- I disliked Bel Canto but loved Commonwealth and the Dutch House.

Before we were yours
Educated

The only good book among these is Crawdads. Before We Were Yours was awful.

I hated where the crawdads sing. Loved educated. The other 2 ok but wouldn’t really recommend.
