Review
If it's taken a very long time to get a memoir written by a nurse, then it was certainly worth the wait. I have rarely read anything that has moved me as much or taken me by the hand so confidently into an unknown world, teeming with life and haunted by death... A remarkable book that I will be pressing on everyone I love -- Allison Pearson, The Sunday Telegraph
A powerful insight into the life of nurses -- Robbie Millen, The Times, **Books of the Year**
It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh. It encouraged me to appreciate this most underappreciated of professions more than ever ... A gently remarkable book… it’s a privilege to have Christie as our guide -- Adam Kay, Guardian
Wonderful -- Sebastian Faulks
A deeply compassionate book… It will leave you weeping as well as hopeful -- Helen Davies, Sunday Times, **Books of the Year**
An amazing book -- terrifying at times, but tender and truthful. Let's be thankful for wonderful nurses -- and writers -- like Christie Watson -- Jacqueline Wilson
Compared with the recent rash of doctor memoirs, this is a far quieter and more thoughtful book -- Kathryn Hughes, Guardian, **Books of the Year**
I challenge anyone to get through all 336 pages without shedding a tear for what those who work in "the most undervalued of all professions" have to witness ... Expect her stories [...] to linger with you many days after the final chapter -- Jackie Annesley, The Sunday Times
A remarkable book about life and death and so brilliantly written it makes you hold your breath -- Ruby Wax
A poignant and powerful account of what it’s like to be a nurse. It’s a profession that touches all our lives delivering expert and compassionate care from the cradle to the grave. A must-read for nurses and those interested in understanding the true art and science of nursing -- Professor Jane Cummings, Chief Nursing Officer for England
