Light-hearted

Rather than light-hearted and cheerful men, I'm attracted to sober men with a bit of a dark side to them.

Peppa Pig is a pleasant, light-hearted and fun programme for kids to watch.

Kids have a way of making everything light-hearted.

Musicals are lighter-hearted than operas – West Side Story, for example, has a very sad ending, but it also has America and Gee, Officer Krupke.

And I didn’t think I would ever write things like infanticide, which you see in Morrison’s novels. I thought I was writing away from that to something lighter-hearted, but I kept getting pulled back.

Even the lightest-hearted of the nominees bears the shadow of suspense.
