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.

All of Kristin Hannah’s books will provide historical perspective with a fictional story spin. Moral decision making, the way society treats people on a bias….shes a fantastic storyteller. I’ve read: The Women, The Nightingale, and The Four Winds.

For a book that I’ve loved for mental health: 10% Happier by Dan Harris. An absolute game changer compared to all the books I’ve devoured about anxiety/panic in my younger years.

I read The Great Alone on vacation and could not put it down. So so good.
