An Evening with Polly Morland

Thursday 30th March 2023
19:00 at Waterstones, Salisbury

A Fortunate Woman (Paperback)

Join us for an evening with Polly Morland as she discusses her book A Fortunate Woman- a compelling, thoughtful and insightful look at the life and work of a country doctor.

'Polly Morland was clearing her late mother's house when she found a battered paperback fallen behind the family bookshelf. Opening it, she was astonished to see an old photograph of the remote, wooded valley in which she lives. The book was A Fortunate Man, John Berger's classic account of a country doctor working in the same valley more than half a century earlier. This chance discovery led Morland to the remarkable doctor who serves that valley community today, a woman whose own medical vocation was inspired by reading the very same book as a teenager.

A Fortunate Woman tells her compelling, true story, and how the tale of the old doctor has threaded through her own life in magical ways. Working within a community she loves, she is a rarity in contemporary medicine: a modern doctor who knows her patients inside out, the lives of this ancient, wild place entwined with her own.'

Polly will be in conversation with one of our booksellers and there will be a chance for audience Q&A plus a book signing to end the night. Ticket price includes a glass of wine or soft drink equivalent. We hope you can join us.
