AJaneClark (3975 KP) rated The Language of Kindness: A Nurse's Story in Books
Oct 26, 2020
Unlike many nursing books, Christie retold her time as a nurse, including some of the research and theory behind being a nurse, in a way that people with no knowledge of the subject would be able to understand. I found it to be cleverly put together, however there were some slow moments, disinteresting moments, and times I felt I didn't agree with what she was saying or doing.
Overall it expressed the nurse's commitment to her job and patients, portrayed her humanity and explored the depth of the mental, physical and emotional pressures that she managed, along with being a young person, a partner and a mother.
Rocky has become obsessed with the death of a young man from Jamie’s school year - as if she hasn’t enough to deal with, with her own increasingly perplexing medical issues (and I thank the NHS that our system is nothing like Rocky’s experiences!).
I love Catherine Newmans’s witty, clever, heartfelt writing. One minute I’m laughing along, the next moment I’m empathising with her and reminiscing about her (my) children when they were small - and feeling as emotional as she does! Ahh, menopausal motherhood!
This book just seemed to finish far too quickly for me - I enjoyed everything about it.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my copy. All opinions are my own!
