“I was initially sceptical about how good a read it would be, based on the fact that it focused on caring for mentally disturbed patients on a psychiatric ward! However I found myself engrossed after the first few pages and completely drawn in by the delightful style of writing.” – Dr Claire Riddell, Oxford University

As Cold War Britain cowers beneath the nuclear threat, school-leaver Alan Hall takes a job he’d never imagined: in a psychiatric ward caring for people with appalling disabilities – from deaf-blind babies to florid maniacs. Steel-faced doors, alarm-buttons, ECT and ‘chemical cosh’ – this is rough nursing and Alan’s baptism is dire. Amazingly he begins to view the ward as a haven of sanity from a world gone mad… until a mystery patient comes and goes in the night. “They say the job’s a one-way trip” – but Alan can walk back out the door whenever he likes… the door out of hell!

PROLOGUE

Two days after your death, we found an Internet site that claimed that one in five manic depressives eventually kill themselves. That statistic isn’t a classified secret, although we never discovered it during your lifetime. Were we, as well as you, afraid? You wanted to believe that your illness at eighteen was ‘cured’. You didn’t want the label of ‘someone suffering from mental problems’. We accepted that and went along with the idea; easier to refer to Zoë’s breakdown NOT Zoë’s first episode. Easier to let our pleasant life slide on. .
