Notă biografică
Joanna Cannon is the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers, The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, which was published in fifteen languages, and Three Things About Elsie, longlisted for the Women's Prize. Her novels have sold over half a million copies in the UK alone. Her love of narrative had always drawn her to psychiatry, but it wasn't until her thirties that she decided to go to back to university to study medicine. Before specialising in psychiatry, she rotated through a series of hospital jobs, from A&E to palliative care.
Recenzii
I tore through Breaking and Mending... frank, emotional and compassionate
One of the most beautiful books you will ever read
Joanna Cannon's powerful, moving memoir of her time as a junior doctor is so good.
Now a best-selling writer, Cannon's stories of her time as a junior doctor explore how humans can give each other hope and compassion in even the darkest of moments.
The story of the struggling NHS has been told in several excellent books recently, and this is among the best. We need to listen.
In Breaking and Mending, [Joanna Cannon] brings her literary talents to her previous career in a memoir brimming with her trademark compassion and psychological insight. ... What sets Cannon's book apart is not just its humanity and wisdom but the novelist's keen observational eye. Cannon is a chronicler both of the human condition and the quotidian details - the clothes, the tics, the sights, sounds, smells and ephemera - which speak to who we are.
Before she became a novelist, Cannon worked as a doctor. Here, she recalls her days on the wards in the most moving way.
This raw and emotional memoir ... is full of depth and insight, and made me so grateful to all those who work in healthcare.
Powerful, shocking and intimate all at the same time
I will be buying Breaking & Mending today and you should too
A deeply moving, thought-provoking memoir written with true compassion and intelligence
All doctors should read this - and patients too. Emotionally wise and beautifully written
Cannon is on her way to becoming a national treasure - no one does quirky, funny and soul-searing the way she does
There is so much compassion in this memoir, so much kindness and empathy. But there is also anger at the way the caring profession doesn't seem to care for those who work in it. It's a heartbreaking read but it ends on a hopeful note.
A book driven by kindness and hope. It's a rare view into a strange and challenging word.
Fascinating read
Breaking & Mending is one of the most moving, compelling books I've ever read
Has all the makings of a highly charged novel, complete with unsavoury characters: the registrar who abandons the newly qualified Cannon mid-shift to go on holiday, the consultant who shouts and spits on her during a meeting. And there is plenty of tragedy, as she writes frankly about how difficult she found it to maintain professional distance from her most heartbreaking cases. Ultimately, though, hers is a hopeful story ... this NHS memoir is well-paced and often beautifully told.
Wonderful
Breathtaking
There's an admirable ballsiness to Cannon. She whistleblows. She wears her heart on her sleeve. Plainly, she wants to nurture mental health in others and seeks to expose the stress, ridiculous workload and lack of pastoral care she experienced in medicine ... She writes lyrically, with a novelist's verve and colour
It is a breathtaking book ... Cannon's narrative skill here is subtle yet tremendous ... Cannon does language expertly, describing not only how to live, but why. I imagine she was the kind of doctor that surely all doctors should strive to be: human, honest, questioning, and (carefully) kind ... Joanna Cannon's story is beautiful. Here's to the wild cards.
Intimate, delicately constructed and as absorbing as it is arresting
