Product Details
The Doctor of Bellechester is an award winning book about a kindly and caring General Practitioner (GP), Dr. Harold Merton, for the village of Bellechester. Sit down and enjoy this gentle read that is a 2023 winner of the Catholic Media Book Awards. The Doctor of Bellechester begins with Dr. Merton being worried after a near-fatal bout with pneumonia last winter. This experience got him thinking about the future and what would happen to his practice if something happened to him? Who would take over? The Doctor of Bellechester reveals how Dr. Merton rarely left his beloved home in the Shropshire Hills. Thus, a journey begins with Dr. Harold courageously venturing into 1959 London to find a junior doctor to mentor and who will one day take his place. With the aid of his classmate, Dr. Basil Applegate, who is now Director of Junior Doctors, Dr. Harold hatches a plan to discover the most suitable candidate. What could possibly go wrong?
The Doctor of Bellechester continues with Dr. Merton’s arrival in London meets a self-assured, young American woman, Emme. Her act of kindness sets off a chain of events that interweaves their lives in a way neither expected. Hidden identities and unexpected changes to plans lead to three memorable days for both Harold and Emme. The Doctor of Bellechester is a cozy read suitable for book clubs or classroom teaching because discussion questions are included.
