Description
‘An enormous hit’ – Evening Standard
‘A moving tales about the lives, loves, triumphs and disasters of a highly-pressured group of medical students…
At the heart of the novel is the love between doctors Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano, childhood neighbours whose friendship ripens into passion. The life-or-death decision they face over their child’s future brings a compelling book to a deeply-moving climax’ – Today
‘Segal writes well. His book … inspires us to understand the moral dilemmas that plague medics, without concealing the incompetence and corruption of the profession. It admits, most directly, the feats that grip doctors, fear that seeps into their personal lives, and is generally assuaged by alcohol, barbiturates, analysis, and most often a cocktail of the three.’ – The Sunday Times
