It's heartbreaking but beautiful, and perfect for escaping into' FLORENCE WELCH`Haunting yet beautifully written. I couldn't put it down. A masterpiece' POPPY DELEVINGNELaura is a nurse in a paediatric unit. On long shifts she cares for sick babies, carefully handling their exquisitely breakable bodies. Laura needs a rest. When she sleeps, she dreams of drowning; when she wakes, she can't remember getting home. And there is a strange figure dancing in the corner of her vision, with a message, or a warning. `Blends gnawing tension and surging tenderness ... Glass's battlefield prose calls to mind the literature of the trenches. This, though, is a trauma-generating war on death and despair fought for us in every city, every day' i paper`Touching, devastating, almost absurdly pertinent ... What, Glass asks, do we expect from our caregivers, and how do we repay them for the burdens we lay on them?' Times Literary Supplement`The ward scenes, with their crystalline descriptions of the vertiginous business of care, exquisitely beat out the ceaseless rhythms of life on a hospital front line' Metro`Thrusts the reader into the pulse-raising fear, frenzy and relief of work in a paediatric intensive-care unit ... A battlefield atmosphere arises from Glass's prose as she recounts the time-stopping teamwork that aims to preserve tiny, fragile lives' Economist\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emma Glass","offers":[{"title":"160 pages \/ 04\/03\/2021 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57107633766775,"sku":"9781526609229","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781526609229_fa7bcb0d-74ea-418a-b048-2f3b1857708b.jpg?v=1780937364","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781526609229","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
