Description

Here are the stories of eight women - doctors, nurses, cooks and cleaners at the heart of a hospital that connects them all in a city that could be anywhere.


Inspired by Mira Harrison's experiences in healthcare in the UK and NZ, these engrossing narratives unveil the shifting balance between professional and private worlds. Our scrupulous - or haphazard - plans are disrupted by falling in love; by our connections to others; by the birth of our children; by loss, grief, and ultimately death.


A ring of truth underpins these tales, but they are fictional ... the work of an exciting new author who will reach new audiences.
