Kiss of Life

Even as a young girl, Alexandra Brandon dreamed of being a doctor like her famous father, despite the fact that the British Establishment in the post-war years was far from welcoming of women in the professions. Fighting prejudice on the one hand and the danger of favouritism on the other, Alex undertakes her medical training and, once qualified, aspires to the highest levels of the medical hierarchy. Fate and Cupid, however, have other ideas. In this convincing and meticulously drawn saga of life in the 1950s and 60s, Morag Saunders draws on her own extensive medical experience to chart the life and loves of a ?new woman?, torn between the desire for domestic contentment and a burning ambition to succeed in her chosen career.
