Following on from Friday's post, you'll see in her second comment there that Linda is looking for suggestions of suitable reading for her hospital stay and while convalescing at home.
I know that laughter is good medicine, and P.G. Wodehouse is hard to beat for funny writing; similarly, Alexander McCall Smith's humour and humanity and his delightfully whimsical way of looking at the world can give a gentle boost to the spirits at any time. For the same reasons, I'd offer Gwen Raverat's memoir Period Piece - A Cambridge Childhood
Understandably, Linda doesn't want any books with grim subject-matter, so something uplifting and restorative is what we're after here. What would you prescribe?
