Omschrijving
Glass-brimming Jenny (psychiatric nurse) and her new patient, glass-definitely-half-empty (physiotherapist) Claire, develop a lifelong and fateful co-dependent friendship that is scarred by secrets and untimely ends.
'Captures the essence of the time and pinpoints the tricky area where the professional and personal sit uneasily in the field of mental health care. A fascinating, warm and absorbing story.' - Jo Brand, comedian, writer, presenter and actress.
'A heart-rending narrative woven around the tragic thought distortions of a serious mental health disorder.' - L J Jenner, author of The Wrong Story
'Heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.' - NetGalley reviewer
Gaye originally trained as a general nurse, and then as a psychiatric nurse, but felt she 'saved more lives' by leaving! She retrained as an actor and co-founded a theatre company, whose plays solely focus on health and social care issues. Gaye has produced eight plays, along with co-writing many pieces of theatre for conferences, charities, and the NHS.
