Wholesome and predictable story of a new GP doctor in the highlands. I don’t think a single thing happened this whole book.

I would give this book 3-1/2 stars if I could. It was an easy read, some fun fluff after a heavier book.

Can you say a book is slow and have it be a compliment? Because that's how I feel about this one. Definitely slow and plodding, but sometimes that's exactly what I want in a story. I listened to the audiobook, but next time (because this series has between 11 and 1,000 books), I'm going to read a hard copy because this book is made for relaxation.

I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the others in this collection.

This was a sweet, well-written story that, while it takes place during the troubles in Northern Ireland, pretty much completely ignores all that for life in the countryside. I can easily see this as a British TV series, if there weren't already so many Irish small town and small town doctor series already. Not really Doc Hollywood (other than a small town boy becoming a doctor and ending up back in a small town), because the lead doesn't have the distain for small towns. Pretty much a new doctor finding his way in a quirky (aren't they all?) village under the tutelage of the crusty old veteran doctor. Quite pleasant.

This book was a sweet and simple read full of warmth and culture. It reminded me a lot of the Irish TV series, Ballykissangel. However, this story was about a new doctor who comes to a small town in Ireland. It tells of the trials and tribulations of a young man trying to make a living in a new place with new people. It shows his growth as a person and how he changes the lives of his new friends and how they change his.
