The author shares the traditions, interests and beliefs of the people with whom she was sharing her time in Afghanistan. She tells of how she laughed with them, despaired and cried with them. She tells of a world which most of us will never see, taking the reader through rural and urban landscapes. I loved reading about the Afghan alternative cures! This is a great book by an insightful author named Mary Smith.
Been a while since my last book review of books I’ve been reading so…

I am an author and a lecturer in veterinary nursing and companion animal welfare. I've now written six books and a vegan cookery book: A Dog Like Ralph, Lilac Haze', 'A Soldier Like Jack', and 'The Diary of a Human and a Dog (or three!)' The vegan cookbook is imaginatively entitled 'Vegan Cookbook'! I love animals and despise any form of animal cruelty. I've been vegan since 2002 — my only regret about this is that I didn't become vegan sooner. I dream of a world in which there is no human or animal suffering, one in which governments across the world take seriously (and act upon) the threats posed to our fragile environment and its people and animals. I live with three dogs and love spending time with them and my husband and son. Like most writers, I love to read, and particularly like to read books about animals. On here you’ll find some reviews of books that I’ve read and loved in which animals are the main focus. My first non-animal novel Picture Me Now (although some animals do creep into its pages), presented a new challenge for me in that I had to delve into the depths of my imagination much more that I had to with previous books. I loved getting lost in another world! Please get in touch and let me know what you think about my books. View all posts by Clare Cogbill
