I'm not ok ... looking for book recommendations that will chase the blues away

I've just finished a book by Aussie Author Peter Watt about the Chinese Boxer Rebellion where a few Australians were caught up in it ..... including Chinese born Australians .....

I would limit myself to a couple of chapters a night & finally just had to sit down & finish it - I couldn't wait til nightfall!  LOL

Did you know that it was the British that introduced opium to the Chinese (and not the Chinese introducing it to the Westerners?)

He has written a couple of 'ongoing' stories spread over 2-3 books too .....
