We're in Devon, early 1970s, with a newly certified doctor who has accepted a position as an assistant to an older GP. His experiences with the rural population reminded me of a James Herriot tale, with a little less self deprecation. I enjoyed it, and plan to read the next in the series. ( )

This is very enjoyable reading and I think it covers the first 4 months of Dr. Coleman's medical career, in 1970 when he moved to a charming tiny village in the English countryside. A LOT happens in this book from humorous to his medical license coming under attack to worrisome incidents and a potential love interest is there too. I plan to read the second book, there are seven in the series. I read the Kindle edition. ( )
