    I've read To The Lighthouse and it really is a wonderful read. Woolf's descriptive style is something that really stands out for me. It feels personal, detailed and deeply layered. There's some really beautiful lines in this novella that speak volumes about humanity. I must admit I was hesitant at first (the stream of consciousness was slightly jarring to encounter as new to her work) but the more I read, the more I fell into her world :)

    Can you recommend a novel that would have a narrative similar to that of Jane Eyre? It should be first-person, but also... it should be so honest and fresh. What I like about Jane is the self-reflection and high level of self-awareness of the heroine. She tries to describe her own interior clearly, honestly, and come to terms with herself. In general, the author undoubtedly shows psychological "tendencies" and if she lived in today's times... well, I would tell her that I found examples of reflection, clarification, fight and flight mode, cognitive dissonance, etc. (and to be super honest, prejudices and stereotypes too :D). I would be grateful for recommendations of such psychological novels. It would be great if it was also a morally uplifting book.

    Such a great set of books, Milena! Thank you so much for letting us know about Miranda, I just watched the first episode and laughed so hard. I just love her, what a talent! I know what I’ll be doing this week. 😊 I’ll have to look for the book on chronic illness, and read Miranda’s as well. I think invisible illness is the hardest socially. I have end stage renal disease, which means I’m always exhausted, but I look perfectly healthy. It’s so hard telling friends and family I can’t see them because I exhausted myself grocery shopping… Not that I want people to think I look sick, but it might make this easier to understand. I’m sorry for what you’ve been through, it makes the fact you’re able to run a business even more amazing!
