In this vibrant autobiographical novel, a young Australian woman travels to London in the 1930s to begin her training as a nurse at the prestigious St Thomas’s Hospital. Irreverent and fiercely independent, she finds herself at odds with the hospital's rigid protocols and the stifling expectations of the era. As she navigates the demanding life of a probationer, her journey takes her beyond the wards and into a world of artistic exploration and unexpected romance. Rich with period detail and sharp observation, the story captures the awakening of a creative spirit amidst the looming shadows of war and the disciplined environment of a world-renowned medical institution.
