‘A fantastic book with humanity and humour’ Dr Phil Hammond

Dr Emily Joy, a not-quite-qualified family doctor, arrives for two years at a remote hospital in Sierra Leone.

There is no water, no electricity, no oxygen and no chocolate to treat her nasty case of unrequited love. The oranges are green, the bananas are black and her patients are, well, really poorly. Then the rebels invade.

But green oranges give sweet orange juice and, if the people of Sierra Leone can remain so optimistic, so can Dr Em.

Her poignant and often hilarious adventures show us how fulfilling volunteering can be – even against the backdrop of civil war.

Emily Joy was a doctor, and is now an author.
