Bleak Times at Orchard Cottage Hospital is the latest book from author Lizzie Lane to be published via Boldwood Books.

Winter casts a long shadow, but hope springs eternal.

Somerset, 1932

In the dead of night, a young woman is abandoned on the steps of Orchard Cottage Hospital and a man is seen fleeing. Nobody knows their identities.

When the young woman dies, Doctor Frances Brakespeare is keen to solve the mystery of her identity and find those responsible for her fatal injuries.

With her mother’s failing health and a very patient admirer, the last thing Frances needs is a dream job offer from a top London hospital. Torn, Frances must decide what matters more to her; her career or remaining in a small town she’s become attached to surrounded by those who need and love her…

With the society wedding of the year fast approaching will Nurse Lucy Daniels be able to unburden her shattering news and will Devlin Compton-Dixon be honest with his feelings and anxieties?

As Christmas blossoms into Spring there are huge decisions to be made, honest truths to be told and long kept secrets to be revealed – let’s hope happiness doth prevail.

Bleak Times at Orchard Cottage Hospital is a warm but tension-filled read. Lizzie Lane writes with evident affection for the period—Somerset in the 1930s—and the routines, gossip, and quiet bravery that define life in a small hospital. Despite the title, this is a book full of kindness.

Bleak Times at Orchard Cottage Hospital offers a gentle, thoughtful escape into a world where real problems exist but are always met with compassion. It’s a book for readers who want to settle in for a nice evening and just read and escape.
