Originally published in 1967 as A Starch of Aprons.
A nursing drama in which the author, a former nurse, convincingly evokes the claustrophobic atmosphere of the wards of the Royal Hospital in London. Elizabeth Manton, a new Matron, arrives and is determined to change the hospital and the lives of the nurses working in it. The nurses' pent-up emotions and desires are constricted by hospital routine and Matron re-kindles her own affair with a consultant. When a tragedy almost occurs, however, she is forced to reconsider her position.
Claire Rayner's eighth or ninth novel from the 1960s, published in e-book by M P Publishing; one of fifty works from this popular English author and "treasured" personalities.
