I read a lot of domestic fiction in winter or at least, I think it is called so. Books like The diary of a Provincial Lady, Miss Read's books, Henrietta Goes to War, Mrs. Tim and the Regiment - this is the one I am reading right now.
Mind you, I live in the sunny Spain so I can't complain, but I do empathize with you. Here, it's getting dark at six o'clock and that's already depressing enough for me, I get sleepy when there is no natural light and do not feel like going out or doing anything. British writers talk a lot about the weather and that soothes me, reading about people who get on with their lives inside their homes when it's dreary outside.
