Just so engaged by this, yes there is a lot of detail but it’s all marvellous. First book of the year might be 5-stars ?

Audio book of the week - “enjoying” this but it is making me anxious about how it’s going to end

Trudie is on page 191 of 288 of The Story of a Heart

This book : the perfect mix of surgical derring-do and a devastating emotional story told with care. It’s brilliant when scientists or doctors can write this well.

Trudie is 60% done with See You In September

Unlike me to be totally engrossed in an audiobook but this is very compelling. I wish they had a narrator that could pronounce Te Reo correctly …
