THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A heart-breaking story of courage
and compassion from the front line of the toughest battle our
nurses have had to fight. Anthea Allen’s writing is raw, honest
and full of love for those she cares for.’ Susanna Reid An
extraordinarily powerful memoir based on the diaries of intensive
care nurse Anthea Allen, who worked on the front line of one of the
largest hospitals in Europe during the Covid crisis. A nurse for 25
years, Anthea thought she had seen it all. But with Covid came the
greatest trial, personally and professionally, of her life. Thrust
into hourly challenges – many a matter of life and death –
while on the Critical Care units of St George’s in south London,
Anthea processed her shocking experiences through writing. It
started with an email to request biscuits. But her appeal to help
boost the morale of her fellow nurses soon turned into a series of
astonishingly moving stories detailing the realities of being a
front line worker. It wasn’t long before Anthea’s accounts were
circulating far and wide, capturing the attention of the nation and
being feted by the likes of Richard Branson and Good Morning
Britain’s Susanna Reid. In Life, Death and Biscuits, Anthea
reveals the human story behind Covid, sharing tales of hope, fear
and laughter from both her ‘family’ of nurses and the patients
she encountered. Forged in a crisis, this deeply affecting memoir
offers a unique and inspiring perspective on the pandemic that
simultaneously tore the world apart and brought us together. Both
heart-wrenching and uplifting, it serves as a testimony to love,
resilience and the human spirit.
