I love books recommended on here but unless I specify you mfs will recommend theory. You all read anything captivating without overt political themes?

I enjoyed Trust by Hernan Diaz. It's kind of hard to describe, but it's a novel set in the gilded age. It's told in a really neat way through letters and a book within the book.

I also liked The 7 and 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It's a weird murder mystery with time travel elements.

Reading what I just wrote makes me think I'm bad at describing books because I probably wouldn't read them based on that.
