Description

Malcolm Alexander's life was turned upside down when he left his job in suburban Glasgow to become an island doctor. The decision was sparked by a sense of restlessness that had been growing inside him, and the opportunity to apply for the job came at just the right time.

The move to Orkney brought its own set of challenges, from adjusting to life without modern conveniences to coping with the extreme weather conditions. Malcolm's experiences as a doctor in such a remote location are both humorous and deeply moving, offering a unique insight into the realities of providing medical care in a limited resource environment.

This memoir is a beautifully written account of one man's journey to find himself again, and the lessons he learned about listening to his heart and responding to the rhythms of the natural world. With its gripping narrative and vivid descriptions of the Orkney landscape, Close to Where the Heart Gives Out is a compelling read that will stay with you long after you finish the book.
