Location: Balham Bowls Club
Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is Christie Watson’s astounding account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.
“It made me cry. It made me think. It made me laugh. It encouraged me to appreciate this most under-appreciated of professions more than ever… it’s a privilege to have Christie as our guide” Adam Kay
Weaving together medical history, art, memoir and science, Molly Case beautifully illustrates the intricacies of the human condition and the oscillating rhythms of life and death in How to Treat People.
“How to Treat People gets to the heart of who we are – how we live and also how we die. I was moved twice over – by the work Molly does as a nurse every day, and by the book she has written” Nina Stibbe
Price: £10
