O knihe

How do you kill your gynaecologist and get away with it? That is the question Liz finds herself pondering in this fast-paced and enthralling dark comedy. Given a death sentence by her gynaecologist, an arrogant man who seems more interested in covering his tracks than helping her, Liz vows to even the score. And she isn't alone when it comes to plotting the ultimate revenge. How to Kill your Gynaecologist follows the fates of four very different women thrown together by one devastating piece of news - they all have late-stage ovarian cancer. But their diagnosis is not the only thing they have in common - all four were pushed from pillar to post by the medical profession, having their fears repeatedly dismissed until it was too late to get the help they needed. Liz, a childless middle-aged woman, Sarah, a Home Counties suburban housewife, Alice, a bored socialite in her sixties and Vicky, a mother-of-five living hand-to-mouth on a council estate, are an unlikely band of allies. But the women pull together to embark on a rollercoaster journey of revenge against the doctors they believe let them down and sealed their fate. Author Sharon Dobbs-Richards is a nurse specialist who knows exactly how it feels to be diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer. She draws on her own experiences to write a bittersweet but darkly funny novel, which highlights the importance of trusting your own instincts and challenges the notion that doctors are always right.
