Country Lovers
Author(s): Rebecca Shaw
The third in a brilliant series of novels set in a veterinary practice on the outskirts of a small country town in Dorset
The lively Barleybridge Veterinary Hospital is bustling with energy. All the vets and lay staff are working hard to make sure that disruptive and sick animals in the surgery and on the farm are treated.
At the same time some of them are coping with crises in their personal lives. Kate is worrying about her A-level results and hoping she will get into Veterinary College. Dan's wife's baby is due at any moment. Letty is worried that she may be terminally ill but is afraid to tell anyone. Joy finds that she is still in love with Mungo, a fact that finally compels her husband Duncan to leave home. Rhodri is deeply in love with Megan, a local farmer's daughter, but she can't marry him because she is committed to caring for her elderly father.
A wonderfully pacy, funny but tender novel about life in the country.
