Slices Of Life

Coast Hospital by Bernard Wendelin is an entertaining book set in a hospital in Australia.

The reader is introduced to a variety of characters who work in the hospital and patients who are just passing through. There is an eclectic mix such as you would find in any workplace with one exception – Sister P who previously passed in the hospital but now wanders its’ corridors. She brings calm and healing.

The book is a highly entertaining read and rather humorous at times. It captures activities within a hospital as we see slices of lives.

Bernard Wendelin has a very personable style that will appeal to all. The book feels like a letter from a dear friend rather than a book. I thoroughly enjoyed Coast Hospital and can recommend it to all. It is a great little read for an afternoon.

I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
