Doctor in Brazil — Patricia Fenwick

A primitive existence as the wife of Doctor Ross Wakefield, helping him in his dedicated work among the caboclos in the mountains of Brazil -- or a fashionable, luxurious life, with plenty of friends, in gay Rio de Janeiro? That was the choice facing Marcia.

Ross warned her what it would be like: twelve miles from the nearest town, no plumbing, no electricity, water fetched from a spring a quarter of a mile away, cooking done over a wood fire, and no neighbours or social life.

But Marcia was quite confident that life with the man she loved would be worth all these hardships -- and then found that she had considerably underrated the problems that faced her at Vista Alegre.
