Beautifully written, the novel “The Heroes’ Welcome” by Louisa Young describes  the lives of two couples and how the ravages of war are worn.  Both men wounded in WWI – one physically and the other psychologically.  I recommend this book.

Written by Michael Wilson who worked as a doctor, a priest and university lecturer “A Coat of Many Colours – Pastoral Studies of the Christian Way of Life” reviews and comments on the personal and social effects of science and technology on modern life.  Although written in 1988 there is much in this book particularly the section on Living Faith which speaks to us today.

A series of murders – yes, another Hamish Macbeth murder mystery- “Death of a Liar”.  One of the more recent M.C. Beaton books with a good plot: enjoyable if this is your genre.
