And I loved Ali Smith’s “ Autumn,” a stunning and wrenching celebration of deep and lasting human connection. Speaking of Forster: “ A Room with A View.” Of course. “ Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand,” by Helen Simonson, is another deep pleasure read set in modern-day England, with occasional nods to Austen and Forster but very much its own delightful story.
“I Capture the Castle,” by Dodie Smith, is pure delight, and also a bit of a quarantine book, with two sisters isolated in a small rundown castle in the 1930s with their blocked-writer father and loony stepmother - until two eligible young men come to visit their country house down the road.
