[edit] DOCTOR
At the outbreak of World War II, a woman doctor working in the East End is caught up in the aftermath of a riot. She is strangely drawn to the mysterious Anna, the woman whose injuries she treats, but the event leads to a danger which will threaten her reserved habits and her trust in human nature.
The cool, self-absorbed and instantly intriguing narrator of Laura Spinney's debut novel is a woman doctor living and working in the East End at the time of the outbreak of World War Two. Caught up by chance in the aftermath of a bloody riot between Fascist and Communist agitators, she finds herself strangely drawn to the woman whose injuries she treats: the mysterious Anna, whose restaurant serves the best caviar in London. But this event begins a dangerous course of action which will threaten the doctor's reserved, individualist habits, her relationship with her lover Morris, and finally her trust in human nature itself. This chilling story has all the grip and tension of a thriller, underscored with delicate observations on the moral consequences of our actions and made unforgettable by the narrator's compelling and fascinating voice.
