My comfort reads
Eva Ibbotson’s The Morning Gift or The Secret Countess. Such an interesting writer: an Austrian refugee who came to the UK in the 1930s. Both novels are about displaced people in a time of war but written with such a lightness of touch and extraordinary charm that they always change my mood to hopeful. Absolute balm.
Eva Ibbotson
