Susanne has also chosen 'The Wherabouts of Eneas McNulty' by Sebastian Barry, a fictional novel capturing one young man's experience of Ireland in the early part of the 20th century.

Rev Angus Smith was an army chaplain for many years and belief and war are subjects which feature in his selected books; 'The Tartan Pimpernel' by Donald Caskie and 'The Battle for the Falklands' by Max Hastings and Simon Jenkins. Rev Smith also reads 'In Flanders Field' by John McCrae from War Poems, an anthology edited by Vivian Head.
