Vigil in the Night represents something of an event for fans of A.
J. Cronin. Here, published for the first time in book form, is his
poignant and moving tale of two nurses--of Anne, who devoted
herself to serving others, and of her younger sister, Lucy, who
meant to get everything in life for herself. When Lucy's negligence
causes the tragic death of a young patient, Anne takes the blame to
protect her young sister--an act that threatens to destroy the
brilliant nursing career that lies before her. But then Anne meets
an idealistic young surgeon who takes an interest in her, and
although one of the oldest and most honored traditions of the
medical profession is that the relationship between doctors and
nurses remain strictly impersonal, doctors and nurses are, after
all, human beings--and sometimes that tradition breaks down.
