Into the Water

Hawkins, P. (2018). Into the Water.  London: ???

Who would have known what was to be the path for Dr Anne in the four months since her last post.  She has visited four hospitals in the last 12 months and has now built up nearly fifty visits.  It started of with the hand, the shingles, the acid reflux, the broken patella, the gallbladder and gallstones, the melanoma.

This book is the next novel by the author Paula Hawkins who wrote The Girl on the Train.  Dr Anne went to the hospital for facial surgery on the 29th June.  She was last on the schedule for the day and had to sit from 0730 to 1530 with nothing to eat or drink.  It was definitely a day to read.  Into the Water certainly held her attention on what was a very difficult day for her.  Did people jump into the pool of water or were they pushed?  Was it a way of getting rid of difficult women. The book held Dr Anne's attention until she was discharged from hospital the following day.

Dr Anne actually preferred this book to the Girl on the Train.
