and Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner ––both very reflective, interior novels about a young woman and her relationships, friendships, expectations for her life and how these all change, similar to normal people mostly in the way I felt the protagonists were observing/detached from their lives as they were participating in them. But for a twist, these were written in 1929 and 1984! and still wonderfully readable and relatable
"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction". Although she has written a plethora of books, reading a room of one's own is magical. disclaimer ⚠️ it is an extended essay based on her lectures in 1930's but it open ur mind to so many things and wonderfully written!
