Synopsis

Similar to Jenny Worth’s Call the Midwife, this book reveals a different, still hidden medical field, the world of x-rays. This story follows a shy, sixteen year old girl, as she attempts to become a professional radiographer from 1962 into the 1990’s. All the incidents and cases are true, for they are Patricia Toulson’s real-life memories. She is thrust into the harsh disciplinary world of a general hospital, ruled by barbed tongues of nursing Sisters’ and ridiculed and harassed by experienced male staff. She experiences horror and tragedy, sadness and joy but also humour abounds in unexpected places. She encounters child abuse, infertility and teenage terminal illness, countered by the wonders of the healing body and the splendour and radiance of pregnancy.

Videos von Verhören und Folter der CIA. Diese sind jetzt verschwunden. Das war die Schlagzeile damals. Genau da setzt die Story an. Die Geschichte und das Netz aus Intrigen sind bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht und interessant. Man kann sich vorstellen, dass das was erzählt wird auch genauso passi......more

Goodreads review by Jeffrey on July 22, 2010

During the Bush presidency, the CIA taped various interrogations and it was reported in the news that the tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. Eisler's latest novel, literally ripped right from this headline is that that the tapes were not destroyed, but were in fact ripped off by a rogue agen......more

I just finished an Advanced Reader's Edition of Barry Eisler's newest thriller "Inside Out," and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast paced, engaging, and had a profound insight on certain political controversies going on in the world around us. So not only was it an addictive action yarn, but also......more
