What happens when the most lovably hapless doctor in British fiction trades his stethoscope for the pursuit of romance? Doctor in Love is the irresistibly comic fourth instalment in Richard Gordon's beloved Doctor series, following the endearingly bumbling Dr. Richard Barnett as he navigates the treacherous waters of amorous entanglement with the same cheerful incompetence he brings to medicine. Set against the backdrop of post-war British society, the novel chronicles a succession of hilariously misguided romantic adventures, delivering Gordon's signature brand of warm, witty, and gloriously farcical humour. Gordon, a qualified surgeon who drew on his own medical career to fuel his fiction, perfected a comic style that is simultaneously gentle and razor-sharp — a quality that earned his Doctor series a devoted readership and a celebrated adaptation into a classic British film. In the tradition of the finest English comic writing, the novel uses the world of medicine as a lens through which to satirise the social proprieties and romantic conventions of the era. Will the good doctor ever find his perfect match, or is he simply too magnificently hopeless to ever get out of his own way?
