This novel tells the story of Owen Morgan, a junior doctor trying to find his feet in the modern Welsh healthcare system. Unfortunately he is peculiarly ill-equipped to survive the demands of the ever-changing world of hospital medicine - or indeed of his feisty Indian wife, his two sons, and their tumultuous home life. Born to Welsh working-class parents, Owen and his family must overcome cultural issues, health issues, family quarrels, and personality incompatibilities during the biggest upheaval in medical training for decades as a Labour government pushes through its controversial reforms. And then there is Colleen. The very lovely, ever loyal Colleen - the love of Owen's life. If only he knew it.
