A gentle romance, with lots of reflection on the interplay of autism and relationships. I particularly appreciated that all the characters were likeable -- I don't always (in fact, perhaps only rarely) have the energy for unpleasant characters.

mouse finished reading The Book of Margery Kempe by Margery Kempe
Not a book I'd recommend for casual reading, but WHAT a wild ride. Such an interesting life, and fascinating to get her perspective on all these situations where she's being a total nightmare to everyone around her and making incredibly bad decisions. Keep in mind: Jesus came by and told her that she's right and you're wrong, but she will pray for you.
