The Island Nurse by Mary J. MacLeod

2.0

I found this memoir very disjointed, and I had a very difficult time keeping the people in the author's story straight. There were some fascinating stories along with some very disturbing accounts. It did offer a glimpse of the remoteness and challenges of life on the Hebride Islands. I was expecting more focus on the author's job as a country nurse, but most were about everyday life on the islands. The thing that frustrated me the most was there were no details as to when or why the author left the island or what happened to most people she wrote about.
