How much would you give up to follow your dreams?
Birmingham, 1967
When trainee doctor Peter meets beautiful student nurse Claire, an instant connection hits them both like a physical force. But beneath his obvious love for Claire and his vocation for medicine, Peter has a fierce longing for adventure, born out of his lonely childhood in Ladakh. It's a longing he can barely admit to himself.
In a devious attempt to come between the pair, Peter’s friend Alex lends him an article about the Flying Doctors of Australia.
From this simple action come stark, thrilling and heart-breaking consequences for all three of them.
In a Far Place, an unforgettably powerful story of love, is perfect for readers of Santa Montefiore, Ann Bennet, Dinah Jefferies, Kristin Hannah, Fiona Valpy and Rosie Thomas.
