Good novels to snuggle up by the fire with this winter

I asked around for recommendations for any good novels to snuggle up by the fire with this winter. Here are the recommendations I got… I read a LOT of personal development & non-fiction, but I’m craving some really good stories to escape into. Nothing violent or dark. I absolutely loved The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Any epic tales of transformation were most welcome…extra points if clothes are part of that transformation!

• The one that was recommended the most is Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
• Another favourite seems to be City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert.

• The Return by Victoria Hislop
• The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak
• Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo
• The Glorious Guinness Girls by Emily Hourican
• The Sun in Her Eyes by Paige Toon
• Undersong by Kathleen Winter
• The Sunshine Sisters by Jane Green
• The Hearts Invisible Furies by John Boyne
• The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields
• Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett
• The Overstory by Rochard Powers
• The Jean Auel Series beginning with “The Clan of the Cave Bear”
• Winging It by Anna Jefferson (local Brighton writer!)
• Nailing It by Anna Jefferson (local Brighton writer!)
• Miss Austen by Gill Hornby
• Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel
