Description
<p><b>‘Malcolm Alexander is to GPs what James Herriot is to vets’ – MATT GAW</b><br><b>_____________________</b><br><br><b>‘An ode to island life in all its glorious foibles’ – THE HERALD </b><br><b>_____________________</b><br><br><b>'A fascinating, funny and utterly heart-warming family adventure.’ – RUTH HOGAN</b><br><b>_______________________</b><br><br><b>An immensely heart-warming story of life on the frontline within extreme circumstances. </b><br><br>When Malcolm Alexander saw the job advert, ‘<b>urgent: island doctor needed</b>’, he applied immediately. What he didn’t anticipate was how much Orkney would affect his family, for better or worse. <br><br>In stories that range from the <b>humorous </b>to the <b>deeply moving</b>, 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 <b>wildlife </b>as well ... <br><br>Malcolm’s journey evokes the <b>awe that the Orkney landscape can inspire</b>, as well as the challenges of island life and the demons that the dark, cold winter months can give birth to. <b>Gripping and beautifully written</b>, <i>Close to Where the Heart Gives Out</i> reminds us of the importance of listening to our heart, as well as to the rhythms of the landscape.</p>
