I have not yet read Gilead so will make that a near term candidate. Thanks for the strong recommendation.
Five years ago i read Andrew Roberts' wonderful Churchill biography. Hard to read that and not conclude that individuals have a great deal of influence on history.
Great list. Lots to think about. Miss Garnett's Angel is such a treat. Sally Vickers's other books are equally excellent. I loved The Gardner (it was ALL ABOUT ME, which is pretty much what she does), and the short stories in Aphrodite's Hat are also terrific, each one a little essay on love, of all sorts.

Oh do let me know what you think. I am keen to re-read it quite soon! (I in fact disliked that book very much...)

can’t wait to read her others! time time I need more time!
Oh, tell me about it!
Going to jump into Piranesi as that sounds exactly like my cup of tea.
