Good evening, could you recommend me some comfy English book set in English countryside. I shall enjoy it on these rainy October evenings. Thank you.

I want to go to England and go somewhere other than London. My family took a vacation to the UK when we were a kid but we barely left London.

Britanons, what are some good places to go in England? Eventually this fucking pandemic is going to end and I'll be able to travel again.

This. I just finished Northanger Abbey and it was peak comfy. Also, Jane can’t go a page without making a sly remark about her characters. To be fair, there was very little description of the countryside, but I enjoyed the book a lot and recommend it.

The 19th/20th Russian countryside cannot be "comfy" because murder, famine and dispossession stalks the land.

The 19h/20th century English countryside is civilised. It is safe from overseas invasion, as it looks out onto a sea that is protected by the largest navy in the world. No pitchfork revolution will uproot and destroy the people's lives. It is one of history's safe havens and remains so to this day.

Only if you happen to be a serf or are too dumb to not die comfortably of old age before the war with Japan. Otherwise it's delightful, especially in the few months of the year when it isn't so cold that you will die if you spend more than a few minutes outside.
