Women's Fiction
This charming and accomplished novel chronicles a young doctorβs journey to heal her own heartβin a tale that will resonate with every woman who has ever tried to make a new start. Dr. Holly Campbell is trying to outrun the symptoms of her life: her grief over her motherβs recent death, her chronic missteps at love, and, most of all, the doubts sheβs had about her career since she started resenting her patients for being sick. So answering an ad for a residency program in rural England seems like the perfect escape. By leaving home, Holly is following in her motherβs footsteps. But while her mother fled to medical school on Grenada, Holly has come to an odd little English hospitalβwhere fate intervenes. For Holly no sooner learns that practicing medicine in England is like driving on the wrong side of the road than her twin brotherβs runaway fiancΓ©e shows up on her doorstep, her grade-school crush turns up in her dormitory, and her motherβs old lover appears at lunch. How can Holly cure their ailments if she canβt even diagnose her own? Filled with the heartbreaking and healing powers of love, The Diagnosis of Love is the witty, warm, perceptive tale of a young doctor colliding with the pastβand choosing her own future.
