Books for When Spring Light Returns

Dear reader,

It's the first days of April and there is a promise of fresh beginnings and longer days. Today I've prepared a short list of books you might want to read this spring season. Enjoy!

Emma - Jane Austen

I love Austen's character Emma, probably because her development through the book is so human. I think she is a character many recognize themselves in but might not want to acknowledge it.

Beautiful, spoilt, vain and irrepressibly witty, Emma organizes the lives of the inhabitants of her sleepy little village and plays matchmaker with devastating effect.

Hello beautiful- Ann Napolitano

To me, this book is about family but also that you cannot keep life neat in a container.

William, scarred by a tragic childhood, finds solace in basketball and a new college life. There, he meets Julia and is welcomed into her close-knit family. However, his dark past resurfaces, causing a rift that threatens their futures and the sisters’ bond. The story explores whether their loyalty can heal the damage when it matters most.

all about love- bell hooks

What is better than to read a book all about love at the beginning of spring?

All About Love offers radical new ways to think about love by showing its interconnectedness in our private and public lives. In eleven concise chapters, hooks explain how our everyday notions of what it means to give and receive love often fail us.
