Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize The Top Ten Bestseller Waterstones Non-Fiction Book of the Month A Sunday Times Paperback of the Year ' 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' - 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 New Statesman
