re:K. Mansfield i’ll send a rec list later after looking thru my bookshelf, if you’re open to American authors, I’d potentially look into Daphne du Maurier or Kate Chopin. ( I just woke up so i’m not sure how much sense is being made.) You have a way with writing emotions that’s very clear and deep, and heart wrenching, i’m sorry it stems from personal exp. and i hope your family becomes more accepting. But your writing is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us via fakenut & thank you for writing 🐧🥜!
