I'm going to love this series! Can't wait to read Versailles (Aurelia, Aurelia is also on my list); Barrett and Moss are both longtime favorites (Ship Fever is so good), and The Summer Book! Such a lovely read. Thanks so much for doing this, I'm finally finding my people.
I'm so very happy about these recommendations! Truly, I can't say enough about how these are ideal for me. The French aristocracy before the revolution? A novel about Arctic exploration featuring naturalist in a claustrophobic setting? I have been meaning to read Davis and Barrett, and now I must. I loved Ghost Wall and will re-read it with the idea of Silvie as one of the small but remarkable children in books I'm drawn to.
*I also very much love the observation about a quality of light that I'm drawn to. Many thanks!
I'm so glad you are pleased with them! And if you've never been to St Ives you have to go to see just how magnificent that light really is. Life changing good!
Love this series! Also, hats off on the love match here. Joy Williams and Tove Jansson and Sarah Moss are three of my all-time favorites, so I can second Ghost Wall as a perfect recommend for lovers of short and sharp. Can't wait to read the others on this list!

"Finding my people" made me a little teary! Reading can feel so wonderful but lonely, so it's always so lovely to have a little community.
