Currently reading/enjoying the works of Margaret Drabble. Love her writing.
Recently read "The Dark Flood Rises" (2016), which focuses on a 70-something woman and her friends. The themes are ageing and mortality. Not as depressing as it sounds!
Now half way through "The Pure Gold Baby" (2013), which centres on a young single woman in the 1960s who must give up her aspiration to be an anthropologist in order to raise her developmentally disabled daughter. Again, sounds depressing, but isn't!
Highly recommended.
