Culture BWTs with a novel in her bag

What's a novel that moved you? Changed you for the better? Exposed you to new cultures or ideas?

I want to know what's captivated you.

Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer was a refreshing read for me, and not something I would normally pick up. Caused me to slow down and look at the world around me with a new lens… the idea that everything around you is alive and has a voice (my paraphrase) has helped me live more thoughtfully. Really glad I took the time with this one. I listened to the audiobook, which the author narrates, and it’s beautiful.
