De historische roman De dorpsdokter, het eerste deel in de serie van Felicia Otten, is een echt feelgoodverhaal en perfect voor de fans van Call the Midwife, de Valerie Lane-serie en Dokter Deen. De prachtige roman De dorpsdokter, het eerste deel in de gelijknamige serie van Felicia Otten, speelt zich af in het Hamburg van de jaren vijftig. Als de jonge arts Thea Graven getuige is van een fatale fout van de hoofdchirurg tijdens een operatie, doet ze aangifte – en dat betekent het einde van haar carrière. Ze vlucht naar haar familie in de Eifel, en gaat aan de slag als dorpsdokter. Maar de dorpelingen vertrouwen haar niet zomaar, en haar nieuwe baas Georg is behalve een zeer goede dokter ook een vreselijke hork. Thea blijft ondanks alles optimistisch en vecht voor haar plek én de liefde. Langzaam ontdekt ze genoeg om van te houden in het pittoreske dorp dat stap voor stap zijn indrukwekkende geheimen prijsgeeft. ‘Een echte feelgoodroman, ik kijk nu al uit naar deel twee!’ ‒ LovelyBooks
