Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud owners of a near-derelict croft house—a farmer’s stone cottage—on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse. Call the Nurse is her account of the enchanted years she and her family spent there, coming to know its folk as both patients and friends. In anecdotes that are by turns funny, sad, moving, and tragic, she recalls them all, the crofters and their laird, the boatmen and tradesmen, young lovers and forbidding churchmen. Against the old-fashioned island culture and the grandeur of mountain and sea unfold indelible stories: a young woman carried through snow for airlift to the hospital; a rescue by boat; the marriage of a gentle giant and the island beauty; a ghostly encounter; the shocking discovery of a woman in chains; the flames of a heather fire at night; an unexploded bomb from World War II; and the joyful, tipsy celebration of a ceilidh. Gaelic fortitude meets a nurse’s compassion in these wonderful true stories from rural Scotland.

Well, James Herriot, she isn't. I thought the stories tended to be superficial and did not for the most part bring the islanders to life. I was moved by the stories about the plight of the old people who were in poor mental and physical health, the abused spouses, the abused children. Even in the UK there were vast cracks through which helpless people could fall. At least the nurse didn't send them a bill!Some reviewers have criticized the author for not naming the island, saying that a lot of the islanders are probably dead now. That may be true, but their descendants are not. Some people -- not me -- would read this book as a patronizing indictment of the people and culture of the island. Primitive. Narrow-mindedly religious. Poor. Dirty. Drunks. One side of the coin is quaint and charming. The other side of that coin is uncivilized. If it were my grandparents she was writing about, I wonder how I'd feel about having their community named? So I think the pseudonym was appropriate and kind.The book doesn't have a finish. It just quits. The author says she hopes to return to the island someday. Okay. But why did she and her family leave in the first place? How did they, especially the children, feel about leaving? What about the relationships that had developed over the years? Not a hint. That was unsatisfying.
