I’m not sure how to label the genre I’m looking for….
Cozy, easy, gentle fiction without being a “cozy mystery” or “Christian fiction”.

I’m looking for something similar to Cranford by Gaskell, but not necessarily a classic…but a book that steps you into a little town or village or family and gives you the tour, without a ton of drama but a bit of a plot is good, and more focus on characters than events.

For reference, my top 5 books are

5. The Forgotten Garden
4. Christy by Catherine Marshall
3. I Capture the Castle
2. North and South
1. War and Peace

Any suggestions are very much welcome.
Thank you!!
