500 Miles from You: A Novel

Written by Jenny Colgan

Narrated by Eilidh Beaton

New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan returns to the beloved Scottish Highland town of Kirrinfief, which readers first met in The Bookshop on the Shore, and adds a dash of London’s bustling urban landscape. 

Lissie, is a nurse in a gritty, hectic London neighborhood. Always terribly competent and good at keeping it all together, she’s been suffering quietly with PTSD after helping to save the victim of a shocking crime. Her supervisor quietly arranges for Lissie to spend a few months doing a much less demanding job in the little town of Kirrinfeif in Scottish Highlands, hoping that the change of scenery will help her heal. Lissie will be swapping places with Cormack, an Army veteran who’s Kirrinfeif’s easygoing nurse/paramedic/all-purpose medical man. Lissie’s never experienced small-town life, and Cormack’s never spent more than a day in a big city, but it seems like a swap that would do them both some good.

In London, the gentle Cormack is a fish out of the water; in Kirrinfief, the dynamic Lissie finds it hard to adjust to the quiet. But these two strangers are now in constant contact, taking over each other’s patients, endlessly emailing about anything and everything. Lissie and Cormack discover a new depth of feeling…for their profession and for each other.

But what will happen when Lissie and Cormack finally meet…?

Reviews for 500 Miles from You

[Dori Miller · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It went on and on. Rather boring, but I kept listening to find out how it ended.

[Emily Hendricks · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Delightful, love this third companion to the Kirrinfief books. The start to this story was a little harder for me to get into, but overall still enjoyable. The narration was wonderfully done.

[Laurenloveslit · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Maybe more of a 3.5* but it was a cute and sweet read. Not perfect but entertaining.

[SerendipityReads · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I really liked the concept, but there wasn't neeeeear enough romance!
