As I looked through my novel list I reminiscent about my expirence with those and how much (or little) time has gone by since then, so I wanted to ask if any of you that read this have novels of the kind I desire o recommend.

1.
Novels that are stretched over a long time with a protagonist that observes the changes or just one that lived for a very long time.
Example
2.
A novel that takes place in the late 20th century or even the first year of the 21th century, it can be written at that time but I desire more the asthetic I struggle to describe.
Example

3.
A story that is just about the hardship of dealing with time.
Example

I personally would recomend every exmple.

Melancholy? How about a novel with themes of trauma (tragic past), redemption, motherhood, and found family set in a dark, medieval fantasy world?
