We are grateful to Adrienne Frazer who has sent in the following list of books: in her own words, ‘an eclectic selection that I love, the majority of which I’ve read many times’.

Great Novels

A Town Like Alice  Nevil Shute

Two adventures in one book with such positive main characters and romantic too.

Milkman  Anna Burns

An amazing behind the scenes of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Spiritual Books

A Sunlit Absence  Martin Laird

A tiny, uplifting treasure.

A Path with Heart Jack Kornfield

I’ve recommended this book to many people as a great start on the spiritual path.

Cave in the Snow  Vicki Mackenzie

Great Novels that are Spiritual Books

The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy   Douglas Adams

Hilarious, short, written in the 1970s and unexpectedly, very prophetic.

Gilead   Marilynne Robinson

It evoked such a depth of a response for me, because of the skill of the writer.
