  • Great reviews for Call The Vet

    26 May 2014

    Call The Vet has been receiving fantastic reviews. The following are a selection:

    ‘This is a light-hearted and upbeat memoir.’ Daily Mail

    ‘Heart-warming’ Daily Mail

    ‘An engaging book. Which I can also heartily recommend’ Daily Mail

    ‘The literary love child of James Herriot and Bridget Jones’ Dorset Life

    ‘Call the Vet is a delightful, engaging account of Anna’s early experiences as a country vet. She has a wonderful sense of humour and effortlessly reels off one hilarious anecdote after another… pure comedy gold. [Yet] some of the stories are funny and some are tragic, as Anna shares the ups and downs of life as a vet. The story also has a little romance, which is delightfully sweet. Call the Vet was a lovely read that had me laughing one minute and crying the next. It will appeal to anyone who loves animals, especially fans of James Herriot stories. I sincerely hope that this book will be part of a series, as I would love to read more of Anna’s experiences with animals and the funny folk who care for them.’ The Bookbag
