Reconnecting with Literary Fiction: 'The Leftover Woman' by Jean Kwok

Amy loved the generational historical family saga 'Pachinko' by Min Jin Lee and the introspective exploration of a writer's life in 'Writers and Lovers' by Lily King. She also enjoyed the audio book 'Passing' by Nella Larson, which delves into the complexities of racial identity. As for a book that didn't resonate with her, she found 'This Time Tomorrow' by Emma Strob's time-travel elements unappealing. Recently, she has been reading 'Matrix' by Lauren Groff and 'Tomake' by Ann Patchett. Amy is seeking fiction that balances beautiful writing with a faster pace. Some recommended titles include 'The Leftover Woman' by Jean Kwok, a page-turning mystery with a historical background, and 'The Rachel Incident' by Caroline O'Donoghue, a character-driven exploration of relationships. For lighter reads, Amy might enjoy 'The View Was Exhausting' by Michaela Clemens and Anjali Dada, a romance set in the world of Hollywood, or 'Nora Goes Off Script' by Annabelle Monaghan, a fun romantic comedy. Amy plans to start with 'The View Was Exhausting' and then move on to 'The Leftover Woman'.
