I nominate High Tide by Inga Ābele for our Latvia read.

Carol, I was going to nominate that exact book! But since you got to it first...

Latvia: Bearslayer A free translation from the unrhymed Latvian into English heroic verse by Andrejs Pumpurs

Excellent!

For our Limousin read, I nominate The Resistance Man by Martin Walker.

For our Count of Cumbria read, I nominate Val McDermid's The Grave Tattoo.

Latvia - Lenin's Harem by William Burton McCormick

Cumbria- Amsterdam by Ian McEwan

Latvia - A Woman in Amber: Healing the Trauma of War and Exile by Agate Nesaule - I thought I wouldn't know any books from Latvia but I have heard of this! :)

I second High Tide for Latvia. It sounds incredible.
