博客來Lindy left her office job in London after being shoved from a moving train. Unable to keep a local job due to a skill deficit, her husband suggests she train as a psychiatric nurse. It feels like a desperate effort to keep the bailiffs at bay.
This memoir of her training and career unfolds through her personal experiences and significant historical events as English politicians are determined to close the Victorian lunatic asylums.
Eventually the family moves to New Zealand during the worst storm since 1703, drawn by her husband’s job, which isn’t exactly as promised.
While there are humorous moments, they also face challenging situations and ultimately - tragedy. 250 pages
