Clare O'Beara
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your question. Gerald Raftery wrote a wonderful book, Snow Cloud, Stallion, which I enjoyed in my childhood. He also wrote Grey Dog which I found more recently. As well as the animal tales, I love the sense of location and beautiful writing. That is why I follow this author. I am not aware of any family connection.

Hi Clare, I noticed you added two books in the list After the fall of the Third Reich, that are mainly about the war years. There are plenty other lists about WWII, but no other that I know off, dedicated to the aftermath of the war. Also, one of those books is fiction, and a romance. Do you agree that they really don't belong in the list ? Before I remove them, I wanted to ask your opinion. Kind regards
