Critics Review

‘Aneira has written a memoir which is a deeply personal, richly researched and incredibly timely tribute to Britain’s commitment to provide free and equal healthcare to all.’ - Daily Mail Book of the Week, 22 May 2020


‘This book speaks from the heart about a passion to preserve our NHS - as powerful a symbol of goodness as we have. Nye’s own experience and that of her family represents our deep need to fight for a society where all are equal in worth and value. And how the NHS stands fast as a symbol of equality, of fairness, and of compassion for all.’ Michael Sheen
