Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital by Lizzie Lane

Posted

Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital by Lizzie Lane, is the second instalment in the Orchard Cottage Hospital historical saga series. It is set in rural Somerset, England, in 1931. I had not read the previous book, and despite some gaps in the back story it was a very enjoyable and captivating read. 

Doctor Frances Brakespeare continues to settle into her new life, but continues to face both professional and personal challenges. Not everyone is happy with her "progressive" outlook on medicine and giving women a choice when it comes to their bodies.

Her relationship with Reverend Gregory Sampson is going from strength to strength with hime providing comfort and support when everything piles up, including her past.

As Frances unravels her family's past, she confronts the consequences of hidden truths and the importance of forgiveness.

Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital is an engaging story that explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of human connection, spearheaded by Frances' amazing colleagues and Gregory.

Part of the series:

  1. A New Doctor at Orchard Cottage Hospital
  2. Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital


Family Affairs at Orchard Cottage Hospital by Lizzie Lane is due to be published on 10 October 2024.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
