![]() ![]() ![]() In sparing but utterly powerful prose, Emma Glass once again reveals her extraordinary gifts as one of our finest fiction writers. Giving voice to dedicated, overworked hospital staff, the novel is an extraordinarily timely reminder of the price nurses can pay for saving lives and easing the path of the dying. The tension and sense of impending disaster build inexorably to her total burn-out and a devastating conclusion. Compulsively washing her hands until they are raw, haunted by strange dreams, she becomes obsessed with a strange figure who appears at the edge of her vision, but believes she can still, somehow, cope. Caring for their parents as well as the tiny patients sleeping in a maze of machines and tubes, Laura is exhausted by the emotional toll of the long hours, as her life at the hospital intrudes ever further into her off-duty hours, gradually destroying her relationship with her lover. 105 likes, 5 comments - Emma Lochner (emma.k4therine) on Instagram: '// Today marks 37 weeks carrying our sweet little boy and I am just reminded of all the love I ha. Following hard on the heels of her searing first book, Peach (2018), Emma Glass’s second novel is equally compulsive reading, this time an intense, authentic study of an experienced nurse in a paediatric unit for babies who are seriously, often terminally ill.
