Hm. Maybe I'll give D. of L. another look; I found the suffering-to-relief ratio daunting last time I inspected, but my tolerance goes up and down. Though. I have found that, since, oh, November of 2016, I really need an HEA with my angst, and preferably lashings of wit as well. If things don't improve on the political front after this November I'll probably be reduced to Restoration comedies and nothing else.
