Love these recommendations, Kate so many things to investigate! Thanks for sharing. The article on female friendships is great. Hope one day we celebrate platonic soul mates as much as romantic ones. ❤️

Wonderful - thank you for all of these reviews/recs and for the discussion on rereads. And I’m going to check out that Jo Baker novel (she has written a highly impressive an original sort of take on Pride and Prejudice, ‘Longbourn’) One novel that I find it interesting to reread (besides all of the Austen’s, which are amazing for that!) is Mary Gordon’s ‘Spending.’ It’s a sort of feminist, utopian fiction - mesmerizing - and you made me feel justified in yet another reread of it. Thank you! 🌼
