 OBSERVATIONS: A doctor's moving fight against corruption in the healthcare system in interwar Europe. The first job of Andrew Manson, an idealistic young doctor, is in a mining town in Wales where he will face all kinds of medical and human problems. Later, when he moves to London, materialism will momentarily change his vision of life, which he will recover thanks to the integrity of his wife and friends.
 It is this, perhaps, the most read work of the Scottish novelist that constitutes a peculiar case in the history of literature. An eminent doctor, with an extensive and lucrative clientele, he does not hesitate to abandon the practice of medicine to dedicate himself to his vocation; and thus, taking advantage of a convalescence in Scotland, he wrote his first novel.
