Description

By the author of Ducks, Newburyport, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2019 and the Goldsmiths Prize

‘As lunatic and splenetic and distinctive as anything that will be published this year ... I begin to suspect she may be some sort of genius' Telegraph

'It is somehow hard not to be optimistic in the hands of a writer so angry and intelligent ... Doctors & Nurses is a novel bracingly alive, making more polite books cadaverous by comparison' Guardian

The tranquillity of a rural backwater - SHATTERED!
The ancient arts of medicine - EXPOSED!
Her darling cleft-chinned doctor - FORCED TO FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE!

It was a time of wiping. A time of bandaging. Of patients and their incessant needs. In a world where nurses never wash their hands, and doctors are the lowest of the low, one enormous nurse stands up for LOVE - a nurse that will make you fart with fear...
