In a last-ditch attempt to save her failing marriage, GP Holly Graham relocates to the charming village of Larkford with her family to work at the local practice. She finds life as a village doctor very different to her previous role in a busy city hospital, and falls in love with the close-knit community and its quirky residents. But just as Larkford is beginning to feel like home, Holly is hit by a bombshell that threatens to destroy everything she has worked so hard to achieve. Can she rise to the challenge and fight for what she loves? Maybe she will discover something about herself in the process.

My only slight criticism was the way that things worked out in the end, especially with the villain of the story. The whole denouement just seemed a bit contrived and things worked out a little too neatly, with all plot elements stacked tidily in their boxes. However, this is escapist fiction, so I won't be too harsh, especially as I liked Holly and wanted things to work out well for her.
