About this listen

 Laura is a nurse in a paediatric unit. On long, quiet shifts, she and her colleagues, clad in their different shades of blue, care for sick babies, handling their exquisitely frangible bodies, carefully calibrating the mysterious machines that keep them alive. Laura may be burned out. Her hands have been raw from washing as long as she can remember. When she sleeps, she dreams of water; when she wakes, she finds herself lying next to a man who doesn't love her any more. And there is a strange figure dancing in the corner of her vision, always just beyond her reach. Dark yet luminous, sensual yet chilling, ringing with strange music and laced with dread, Rest and Be Thankful is an unforgettable story that confirms Emma Glass as a visionary new voice.©2020 Emma Glass (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Medical Psychological

Critic reviews

'An impressive achievement . A truly original voice for the future.' (Big Issue)

This prose is melodic and rhythmic, it’s almost reads like poetry but she has had made it a beautifully written novella about a woman on the brink while having a very high stakes occupation.

Can almost feel the exhaustion in the character’s emotional and physical wellbeing...skilfully written through the author’s words....

Chilling....
