Have you heard of Allen Raine, one of #Wales's all-time best-selling authors?
If not, I've written a little biographical primer. This is the first of three parts in which I am looking at Allen Raine's Unitarian upbringing. The next installments will cover her literary output and the importance of music for her writing.

Following from my earlier post about Ada Evans of Newcastle-Emlyn, here's the next part in how she became the famous writer 'Allen Raine'. In this second part, I'm sketching the scope of her work and set it in context of her own life.

@bydbach I have, because she’s buried near here (St Michaels, Penbryn) but I haven’t read any of her books.

@nic once these Honno proofs are out of the way, I will get to the next part. Fingers crossed it's not long.

@nic Thank you so much for reading ! Apart from her historical novel, she's extremely readable. I'd recommend her short stories to get a good flavour of what she's capable. I can only ever recommend her. Mostly because she writes landscape so well and for her understated, wry humour.
