A DOCTOR who has had a lifelong passion for Thomas Hardy is launching his book as part of the Thomas Hardy Conference.
Tony Fincham from Kent will launch his book, Hardy The Physician, on Monday, July 28 at Waterstone's book shop in Dorchester at 6.30pm.
The general practitioner is a long-standing member of the Thomas Hardy Society and his interest in Thomas Hardy led him to buy a second home in Dorchester.
Hardy the Physician is a detailed analysis of illness and disease in Thomas Hardy's life and works and focuses on his two wives' personal experience of illnesses.
At the free book launch there will be a reading, some free refreshments and a chance to buy the book half-price at £25.
