What books would you recommend to the main character of the book and why?
Fun Home is an autobiography about growing up in a funeral home. Alison's dad is very depressed, but he is also a literary companion. This book is also about discovery of one's self, as Alison realizes that she is a lesbian. I would recommend Honor Girl to Alison because it is also about a lesbian finding herself.
Fun Home is also a broadway musical.
