Hi Ian,

I loved your book, couldn't put it down, and found it very moving and beautifully evocative of the countryside I grew up in (born and raised in Ewelme in Oxfordshire). I noticed on your website you were after recommendations for good reads - a strange one this as not particularly aimed at fathers, but again, this really encapsulated a certain time and place in English life, and much of it evokes the countryside of post-war England - called 'Can Any Mother Help Me?' - recently published letters between a group of women from 1930s onwards - their lives, struggles through the war and post-war, many based in isolated areas of the country.

Best,
Charlotte
