Publisher's Synopsis

In 1950, when she was a student at Edinburgh University, the author was found to be suffering from TB and hospitalised in the sanatorium known as the Royal Victoria Hospital for Tuberculosis. This memoir relives the privations and heartaches, as well as the laughs, as she and her fellow patients underwent treatment.

About the Publisher

Unbound

Unbound

Unbound was founded by three writers: Dan Kieran, Justin Pollard & John Mitchinson. We think people who love books ? primarily readers and writers ? deserve a say in what does or doesn't get published. You may not be aware of it, but even best selling authors are beginning to have very restrictive parameters imposed on the kinds of books they get to write. Put simply, there are lots of potentially great books we're not getting the opportunity to read.
