I have Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell for many years, but haven't gotten around to actually reading it. Have you read that one?
Educated sounds interesting, I have some interest in survivalism, but that sounds like an extreme example.
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell was alao very good! I really wish she wrote more but I've read she struggles with chronic illness so it's hard to get more books out.
For Educated, while the survivalism is very present, the book is more exploring the impact it has had on the author's upbringing and on her siblings.
