Truth & Beauty
Ann Patchett
Patchett's memoir of her fierce, complicated friendship with the writer Lucy Grealy. One of the great books about platonic love.
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen
My favorite Austen, obviously. I reread it whenever I want to feel better about everything.
★ 5Jane Eyre
Charlotte Brontë
One of my favorites, forever. Small, fierce Jane refuses to be anything but herself.
