WH is a family saga about generational abuse and the moral injury of colonialism. (And toxic obsession.) R&J is about the breakdown of authority and young people trying to behave rightly without adult examples or support. (And stupid teenagers.) And they are also love stories!

I am roasting vegetables (acorn squash, beets, turnips, carrots, brussels sprouts), cooking a pot of scarlet runner beans with little orange sweet peppers, and macerating the apples and thawing the rhubarb for pie. I'll make the wild rice pilaf tomorrow while the ham is warming through.

Ah okay! I just finished George Sand's Horace, which is the *other* novel featuring the barricades of 1832 in its climax, and has a fallen woman who gets a happy ending, a Saint-Simonian grisette, the President of the Bouzingots, and the comeuppance of a fuckboy.

Are you looking for general local color, or specific topics? And what era? I have an extremely random collection of links and pdfs for things I've researched for fic, tho mostly focused on the first half of the 19th century.
