The Oasis

Menzies Mental Health Novel 2

De: Anne Buist, Graeme Simsion

Narrado por: Edwina Wren

By the bestselling authors of The Glass House, Anne Buist & Graeme Simsion, comes the second novel in the groundbreaking Menzies Mental Health series

Trainee psychiatrist Doctor Hannah Wright has only just got her head above water in the acute psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital when she's thrown into the deep end of the outpatient clinic. Keen to develop her skills in talking therapies, she finds herself up against a boss who's focused on medication and a senior colleague with a score to settle.

Hannah's fellow first-years face problems of their own: on-and-off flame Alex is being bullied, Ndidi's marriage is in trouble, Jon feels isolated and Carey is concerned their autism will be a career barrier.

While Hannah comes under pressure to seek therapy herself to confront a traumatic past, her patients' health issues range from OCD to ice addiction, childhood abuse to the mental impact of ageing, and from bad parenting to bad genes. They all come to the Oasis.

Written with great humanity and humour, Australian psychiatrist Anne Buist and internationally bestselling author Graeme Simsion (The Rosie Project) welcome us into the world of mental health with compassion and insight.

'Anne Buist comes to this with real insight and wisdom' THE AUSTRALIAN

Love this author

Love this author’s books, and her husband’s, as well as their collaborations. I’ve also read a few of the books mentioned within the context of their stories, and liked those as well. Very affirming for me and my family, on several fronts. Very grateful for their exceedingly thoughtful and entertaining works. Can’t wait for more to come out in audio format.
