ABOUT THIS BOOK Welcome to the Larkford Surgery in the Cotswolds, the heart of a tightknit community as well as a hotbed of drama, rivalry, resentment and romance - and that's just the doctors … Dr Holly Graham is finding life with two sets of twins exhausting. Even with husband Dr Taffy Jones and devoted friend Elsie by her side, she is completely outnumbered. Making the transition back to work will be no easy feat but a regular slot on Radio Larkford as their on-air doctor might be the perfect stepping stone, until an unexpected job offer changes everything. Dr Alice Walker’s new canine clinic at Larkford Surgery with Coco, her assistance dog, has been a storming success. If only shipping her best friend, Dr Tilly Grainger, in from South America to cover for Holly had been such a smooth transition. It seems that Tilly isn’t finding life in the peaceful Cotswolds valley as rewarding as she’d hoped, and she is causing chaos ... MY REVIEW Oh, it is such a joy to return to the wonderful community of Larkford and SNOWED IN AT THE PRACTICE by Penny Parkes is another brilliant story from start to finish. Dr. Holly Graham's life is hectic. With two sets of twins to look after, being a stay-at-home mum is harder than she ever imagined it would be. Holly adores being there for her babies but she misses being a doctor and when she gets a job opportunity, could she change the direction of her career without it impacting her family? And will her husband support it? But at least she has the unique and fabulous Elsie to confide in even if she does seem to be keeping secrets. Meanwhile, the surgery is as busy as ever and Holly is definitely missed by Grace and the patients. Tilly, who is standing in for Holly, is a wonderful doctor but something is stopping her from really connecting to life in the village, and as she leaves a trail of broken hearts in her wake, her friends cannot help but wonder why it feels like she will pack up and leave soon. With Alice missing her boyfriend and worrying about her friends, and Connor trying to embrace his new life, there are plenty of mishaps, misunderstandings, and drama floating around this beautiful place. But will everything change as this special group of people make new choices and open up about what they really want from their future? Engaging, compelling, and just the perfect read to settle down with in the cold evenings, SNOWED IN AT THE PRACTICE by Penny Parkes is everything I hoped it would be and more. It is part of a series but it can be read as a standalone - although trust me, this series is superb and well worth reading. The characters feel like family and there were times when I laughed, times when I cried, and times when my heart raced alongside them as their lives came to life on the page. The setting of Larkford is stunning as always and reading Penny Parkes' books is like getting a huge hug when you need it the most. SNOWED IN AT THE PRACTICE by Penny Parkes is one of the best books to read this winter and I highly recommend it (and the series) to all fiction fans. AUTHOR BIO Penny Parkes lives in the Cotswolds.
