Description

An extraordinary memoir based on the diaries of intensive care nurse Anthea Allen, who worked on the front line of one of the largest hospitals in Europe during the Covid crisis. With 25 years of nursing experience, Anthea thought she had seen it all, but Covid brought the greatest trial of her life.

As she processed her shocking experiences through writing, Anthea's accounts of life and death on the Critical Care units of St George's in south London began to circulate, capturing the attention of the nation and sharing tales of hope, fear and laughter from both her 'family' of nurses and the patients she encountered.

This deeply affecting memoir offers a unique and inspiring perspective on the pandemic, forged in a crisis that simultaneously tore the world apart and brought us together. It is a heart-wrenching and uplifting story of love, resilience and the human spirit.
