'If you want to read a book that moves you both at the level of
sentence and the quality of language and with the emotional depth
of its subject matter, then A Fortunate Woman is definitely the
book you should be reading' Samanth Subramanian, Baillie Gifford
Judge When Polly Morland is clearing out her mother's house she
finds a book that will lead her to a remarkable figure living on
her own doorstep: the country doctor who works in the same remote,
wooded valley she has lived in for many years. This doctor is a
rarity in contemporary medicine, she knows her patients inside out,
and their stories are deeply entwined with her own. In A Fortunate
Woman, with its beautiful photographs by Richard Baker, Polly
Morland has written a profoundly moving love letter to a landscape,
a community and, above all, to what it means to be a good doctor.
'Morland writes about nature and the changing landscape with such
lyrical precision that her prose sometimes seems close to poetry'
Christina Patterson, The Sunday Times 'Timely . . . compelling . .
. a delicately drawn miniature' The Financial Times 'This book
deepens our understanding of the life and thoughts of a modern
doctor, and the modern NHS, and it expands movingly to chronicle a
community and a landscape' Kathleen Jamie, The New Statesman
