A Very Distant Shore
A Very Distant Shore: Quick Reads | Jenny Colgan
3 posts | 5 read | 9 to read
Wanted: doctor for small island. Must like boats, the seaside and having no hope of keeping a secret... Lorna lives on the tiny Scottish island of Mure, a peaceful place where everyone helps their neighbour. But the local GP is retiring, and nobody wants his job. Mure is too small and too remote. Far away, in a crowded camp, Saif is treating a little boy with a badly-cut hand. Saif is a refugee, but he's also a doctor: exactly what Mure needs. Saif is welcome in Mure, but can he forget his past? Over one summer, Saif will find a place to call home, and Lorna's life will change forever.

Cute, little short story by my fave *guilty pleasures* author. Could have been fleshed out a bit more, although it did still manage to make me weep a bit. 😢
