Story
The book is written with humour on a subject which could very easily be melancholy, and whilst not avoiding the truth about this degenerative neurological condition, Simon takes you on a journey with earnest compassion. A great listen for everyone, especially for anyone remotely connected to Parkinson’s Disease, this is an uplifting, supportive and reaffirming listen; life is still to be enjoyed no matter what the adversity.

Story
Paul Lambert, a quiet and introspective young doctor tells the real-life tales of some of his patients, at a time when care and compassion ruled supreme in British hospitals. Some stories are humorous, some sad, others poignant, but all are very 'human'. The novel also follows Paul's chequered love life and unveils some of the 'high jinks' that doctors get up to when off-duty. Had Jennifer Worth been a surgeon rather than a midwife, these are the tales that she might have told.

Story
Ich werde das Meer nie wieder hören. Dieser Satz, den ich einst von einem Betroffenen hörte, brannte sich in meinen Kopf ein und festigte die Hoffnungslosigkeit in mir, nie wieder gesund zu werden. Ich heiße dich herzlich willkommen und freue mich, dass du hier bist, um mich durch den einschneidendsten Teil meiner Lebensgeschichte zu begleiten. Ich nehme dich mit und erzähle dir meine Geschichte von meinem Versuch, mich aus dem Treibsand zu befreien, der mich bei jeder verzweifelten Bewegung nur noch tiefer versinken ließ, bis ich letztlich nicht mehr in der Lage war, mich selbst zu versorgen.
