Join us for a conversation with author Dr Kerry Jewell about her new book A Little Unwell at Rosanna Library!

A compelling, candid and darkly funny novel that explores the modern realities of our dysfunctional public health system, and the fragile human beings fighting to make it work.

For Amy, being a doctor was supposed to mean winning at life.

But now, in her second year in a city hospital the reality is a world away from Amy's med school dreams. She is finding out that people don't always want to be 'helped', the pay barely covers rent, her hours are ridiculous, her favourite patients are getting sicker, and her surgical trainee boyfriend has recently gone shy on proposing.

What Amy does have are the friendships forged by dealing with recalcitrant patients, endless nightshifts, and crying in the emergency department bathrooms. And a belief that maybe, underneath it all, it's a job that's still worth doing.

And when things begin to go wrong - horribly wrong - they're all that Amy has. Will it be enough?
