Hi Will, I loved your books! However, in the middle of the covid pandemic, I realized that I do not want to read books that are sad. So looking for uplifting fiction, my favorite book this year is The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg. She also wrote a couple follow ups and I read Night of Miracles. There are so many books to read but currently I can't bother with ones that will depress me. What do you think?
Will Schwalbe
Thanks so much for the kind comments about my books! That's such an interesting question. I actually like reading sad books during tough times because it makes me feel so lucky in comparison -- especially if they are REALLY sad. But most of my friends are more in your camp and prefer to read uplifting fiction. So I totally get that. Did you read DEAR EDWARD by Ann Napolitano? I find it's the perfect blend -- a sad premise but an incredibly uplifting ending. Hugely recommend it. Warmest best! Will

Hi Will, my dear father Murray died 10th July- last week. It was a journey similar to you and your mum, except he wrote two family history books in the last six months and I formatted them and helped research. The question is.... I now have time to read and look after myself. What books would you suggest at this stage of grief? Regards, Carolyn
