 ABOUT THE BOOK:

Psychiatry registrar Doctor Hannah Wright, a country girl with a chaotic history, thought she had seen it all in the emergency room. But that was nothing compared to the psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital. Hannah must learn on the job in a strained medical system, as she and her fellow trainees deal with the common and the bizarre, the hilarious and the tragic, the treatable and the confronting. Every day brings new patients: Chloe, who has a life-threatening eating disorder; Sian, suffering postpartum psychosis and fighting to keep her baby; and Xavier, the MP whose suicide attempt has an explosive story behind it. All the while, Hannah is trying to figure out herself.

With intelligence, frankness and humour, eminent psychiatrist Anne Buist tells it like it is, while co-writer Graeme Simsion brings the light touch that made The Rosie Project an international bestseller and a respected contribution to the autism conversation.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Dr Graeme Simsion's debut novel, The Rosie Project, has sold over five million copies in forty languages, spending 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. A film is in development with Sony Pictures. The two Rosie sequels were also international bestsellers as were The Best of Adam Sharp, in development with New Sparta Pictures, and Two Steps Forward, which was written with Anne, and optioned to Fox Searchlight / Disney. Professor Anne Buist is Chair of Women's Mental Health at the University of Melbourne, with thirty years of clinical and research experience in perinatal psychiatry. With a multi-million-dollar grant from Beyond Blue, she established an Australia-wide screening program for perinatal depression. Anne began writing at eight, but medicine intervened until 2012, when she wrote an erotic fiction series (under a pseudonym). This was followed by four crime novels and a standalone thriller. Graeme and Anne are married and live in Melbourne.
