An immensely heart-warming story of life on the frontline within
extreme circumstances. 'Malcolm Alexander is to GPs what James
Herriot is to vets' - Matt Gaw 'An ode to island life in all its
glorious foibles' - The Herald In his forties, Malcolm gave up his
job in suburban Glasgow when a persistent seed that had been
growing inside him started to bloom, disrupting the foundations of
his life. When he saw the job advert, 'urgent: island doctor
needed', he applied immediately. What he didn't anticipate was how
much Orkney would affect his family, for better or worse. In
stories that range from the humorous to the deeply moving, Malcolm
describes what it's like adjusting to life without modern
conveniences and to the extreme - and constantly changing -
weather; and what it means to be providing the best medical care to
the local population with limited resources. Which often includes
the wildlife as well ... Malcolm's journey evokes the awe that the
Orkney landscape can inspire, as well as the challenges of island
life and the demons that the dark, cold winter months can give
birth to. Gripping and beautifully written, Close to Where the
Heart Gives Out reminds us of the importance of listening to our
heart, as well as to the rhythms of the landscape.
