I love this so much because it sounds just like you and I love you! The Zadie Smith rec sounds great--I loved White Teeth but haven't read anything else by her since. Haven't read Remains of the Day but the title of the beautifully haunting Never Let Me Go described how I felt about the book. I'm glad you mentioned Call the Midwife--reminds me that I need to try it out on my mom. I've been staying with her during the pandemic, and we're always in the market for something that's interesting, not too complex, and (the most difficult) not a downer. We did well with The Crown (she's 98 and likes things that take place when she was growing up), and lately have been working our way through In Treatment (she's a social worker). So thanks! I love that you're also including links you're clicking--our reading worlds have changed so much in the past several years, and I find I spend a lot of time with newsletters and links. And huge congrats to your sister--wow! Be well.
