Description

The true story of a young woman embarking on a new life, career and journey of self-discovery

A touching account of the life and death situations, friendships and affairs of the heart that Suz encountered as a student nurse in London in the 1970s.

Her remarkable memoir conjures a vivid picture of the hospital dramas, the procedures, the professional barriers and the camaraderie that became her world.

From her first encounter with the dead, to the joy of seeing new life. From cancer wards and unexpected loss to canteen laughs and much-needed moral support. Suz’s personal experience captures both an era and a wonderful profession – warts and all.

A great read.

I've read and really enjoyed this author's other memoir, 'Unwanted'. I was so pleased to discover she's written another book, and a medical memoir, which is one of my favourite genres.

This book chronicles her three years training as a nurse in the East End of London, and working in all the various hospital departments.

It was concise and easy to read. I find books like this so interesting, gripping and absorbing, and this certainly was all of those. It's not just about the medical stuff-it also includes travel; her relationships while training as a nurse; dramas with the doctors and nurses, as well as the patients. It's honest, emotional, informative, and moving.

I've read quite a few of this type of memoir, and still there are things in here I've not seen before. A great read.
