This doctor is a rarity in contemporary medicine - she knows her patients inside out, and their stories are deeply entwined with her own.\n\nIn 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.\n\n'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\n\n'Timely . . . compelling . . . a delicately drawn miniature' -  Financial Times\n\n'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","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48240564207852,"sku":"9781529071177","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529071177-a-fortunate-woman-1.jpg?v=1787919423","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/a-fortunate-woman-by-polly-morland-9781529071177","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
