It's a little abstract to her.

I wonder, is there something there?

I was just thinking that does create a sense of immediacy, perhaps.

I will pay attention to what the emotional content and weight is of the books that we end up recommending to you today.

And if necessary, we can explore how they're going to feel and if that's actually a good pick for you at this season in your life.

Right.

And it also might depend on the balance, just thinking of what you said about the content of Montgomery's fiction.

Okay, we'll pay attention.

I enjoyed this one so much myself.

Now, it sounds like this fits into one of the categories of books you really enjoy reading about, about creative and artistic women in history.

Absolutely.

Would you say more about that?

Now, Jack the Ripper on the surface doesn't quite fit with the other books that you've brought today.

And yet, the way you're describing it, I get it, but I'm still struggling to articulate it.

Can you say more about what lands it as, I mean, you only got three favorites and this is one of them.

Can you say more?

It does.

It does.

And I'm taking notes.

Kate, now would you tell me about a book that was not a good fit for you?
