Description
Liz Byrski's memoir is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of truth, fact, and memory, set against the backdrop of the Guinea Pig Club, a group of aircrew with horrific facial burns treated at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. In the aftermath of the Battle of Britain, pioneering plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe established revolutionary new surgical and therapeutic treatments, fostering friendships and relationships between patients and nursing staff. However, this pioneering work came at a significant personal and professional cost, particularly for the nurses involved. This memoir delves into the experiences of the nurses whose stories have never been told, offering a unique perspective on the challenges of caring for those with facial disfigurement and the impact of their work on the patients and their own lives.
