WATCHING IN THE NIGHT. Cronin, A.J.

The controversial world of hospitals, where the ambition and vanity of some collide with the generosity and professionalism of others, is the setting in which the story of nurse Anne Lee, who works in different positions in English hospitals, unfolds. In them, the most varied situations occur that test the protagonist's human and professional integrity.

A masterful connoisseur of that world, Cronin puts before us the infinity of intrigues and conflicts, doubts and frustrations. Sacrifices and pain that are hidden behind the impeccable white aprons that the patient sees. The story of Anne Lee and, through it, the professional situation of her union, are reflected in this novel where the mission of women in the field of nursing is exalted.
