The Summer of Sir Lancelot

Více o knize

A mildly humorous novel about a renowned retired doctor who faces unexpected complications during his countryside retreat. This is another of Gordon's novels centered on doctors, medicine, English society, and small-town life. Sir Lancelot, already familiar from previous works, is now retired and expects to enjoy a peaceful rest. His assumption is shattered by the arrival of a beautiful niece, a new neighbor, and the demands of stepping in as a family doctor in a London suburb. The story offers a light-hearted perspective on the state of ordinary English medicine, English customs, and the relationships between people, particularly between doctors, all infused with a distinctly calm English humor.
