Just avoid any happy families - traumatic one like the Irish tv show The dry or other mess up families - i'm all for!

Neapolitan novels - struggle to read other books after...

I love how Neapolitan Novels. - the complex depiction of long friendship, how you can literally smell/taste/feel 1950s + Naples, the continual symbolism through out Italian Political events through fictionisation of the story, the continual philosophical enquiry, to how you have change how i see all aspects of my life and I'm still thinking of you weeks later...

The entwinning of history to guide you through your own research, the many complex themes, the continual different threads - just so well done. The way you can do a deep dive to just enjoying an amazing book - that is an amazing skill to do this. I read an array of books, of all types, - love more detail but sure reddit will misinterpret me and downvote.

I love Ernaux, Forbidden notebook and The beautiful Mrs Sidenman (truly awesome!)... but Copenhagen Trilogy to Tove Jaasoon while appreciate the context of time their written just did not hit the spot... Then i made the mistake of picking up random book at the library and my god you can feel how superior Ferrante's writing is... I feel have been ruined is this forever? can i only read well researched novels from now on? can i ever go back?

missing social cues when trying to do something nice

I grew homemade potatoes, got lots. I love food pantries of home produce, have taken my fair share over the years and wanted to give back. So thought i would attempt a box with free potatoes fresh from ground (but pretty clean) and i put a note that its surplus...

not one person took any been out for hours, obviously some people can't cook or need set food, but potatoes for many are a staple.. Its are part of our food, why is that so weird? Some person down the road suggested it and now i feel so stupid. I hate when ever i do things like this i miss the cues and look stupid.

know know, to give direct, not do public food shares etc but so hoped growing my own food i could share it, know its there lost. any one got any tips or ideas of how to do things like this? how to gage the audience? etc or anyone else feel similar?

French or Spanish Classics that are emotive and philosophical

Read Zola not for me, Ernaux, De Beauvoir and more modern Shadow of the wind - are awesome!

I love French/Spanish classics that are full of emotion, thought and questions. I love all the Brontes (including Anne's, despite being more realistic, lots to think about!) Not camus, want some challenge but still able to write more then 2 pages at a time! Bonus if its got a lot of history too and older: (especially if 19th century)

book that feel like Elena Ferrante -historical accurate fiction

i love the emotionally and philosophical elements of the Neapolitan novels. I would love other historically accurate fiction books (or memorials) on other European countries that do similar, prefer more emotive then direct writing but i know many books not always have English translation, so any you really loved.

I have recently read Coperghan Trilogy, Forbidden notebook, and already got The Tartar Steppe/The door to read.

By the way here is my recommendation: Omg it showed Polish history by using amazing philosophical language, its based on 1940s Warsaw, and how past and future affects the present. The beautiful Mrs sedeniman

Stories Books on Greek, Roman, Irish or Scotland folklore

anyone recommend any non academic fiction stories that use folklore? I would love folklore/myths in ways i can finally remember it, (Greek, Roman, Irish or Scotland folklore) entwinned in a story. Any recommendations? Pan labyrinth (yes a film!) but in book form? Or any more like Outrun? (loved how the stories of her addiction struggles entwinned in Orkney folklore history) totally ok to go into books on norse or other folklore, too!

Neapolitan Quartet - any thing similar?

love the rich emotive inner life of the characters mixed with the wider political landscape of postwar Italy, even more so focus on women,. I would love to know any other suggestions from other European countries, fiction, or nonfiction. - (for example, loved Annie Ernaux).

I love also Allende books and historical realism - so anything similar (both Latin american also be great!)

Bonus if not as series: Neapolitan quartet is long!

i know I'm late to the party no idea how i missed this series its awesome!
