It's 1967 - rock stars, miniskirts and free love dominate- but medical student Beth Slater is discovering that the NHS isn't ready for female doctors. Against a backdrop of prejudice and misogyny, Beth stands up for what is right. When a close friend dies, she vows to find out the person responsible. As the years pass, Beth refuses to give up as she navigates stormy relationships, friends in crisis and the dark shadow of the AIDs epidemic. But technology is changing and advances in DNA and forensics provide clues which finally reveal a brutal truth. Anne Pettigrew has written a sharply observed, witty, and delicious tale, of ambition, prejudice and human triumph over adversity.
