2.0 out of 5 stars Not her best, October 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Heaven Around the Corner (Unbound)

Back Cover description: Could she cope with the Savage family? Louisa didn't want to marry the boring Frank, nor did she want to live with her stepmother. She was fortunate to get, after completing her training, what sounded like a pleasant and challenging nursing job--in Norway! Louisa was delighted, even though her patient, Claudia Savage, did cause some problems--not helped by the austere unco-operative attitude of Claudia's brother Simon. She couldn't understand why he was so disagreeable...

This is the first Betty Neels story I've read where the hero wasn't a doctor and the setting wasn't Holland/Netherlands. The descriptions of Norway were fine. What I didn't like was the plot. The patient is an alcoholic. No one tells Louisa that, not the two doctors, not the brother (until halfway through the book). This is the first book of Ms. Neels where the doctors actually are incompetent. What else could you say it is when the two doctors never say to the nurse what the problem is-they gloss it over with euphemisms. I never warmed up to the hero, there was just something I found unattractive. If that wasn't enough, Claudia has a miracle cure for her drinking-she falls in love. Sorry, I just can't buy this storyline.

I`m a huge Betty Neels fan and have been for a long time. Probably have all but a few of her books in my collection. Still look for more books when in a bookstore or Amazon.com. Periodically will check thru Amazon to see if any republications are coming out. I enjoy the descriptions of England and Holland and wish I could be there sightseeing.
