Wendy French écrit de la fiction humoristique centrée sur des protagonistes féminines. Son œuvre puise dans une enfance étonnamment heureuse et stable, qu'elle présente avec humour comme un obstacle au tourment artistique. Cette approche singulière pour trouver l'inspiration dans les circonstances ordinaires de la vie donne naissance à des récits frais et divertissants.
French delivers a smart, fast, funny take on mother-daughter relationships, boyfriend-girlfriend disasters, and the career girl blues. "Enjoyable . . . poignant . . . the emotions ring true."--"Entertainment Weekly."
Born in the NHS was conceived when Wendy French and Jane Kirwan were talking about their experiences working in the health service, and being brought up in medical families. People are only gradually becoming aware of the damage that will be done by privatising the NHS so they decided to put their personal account on record and monitor the government's plans. They've included poetry, prose, memoir and facts. It isn't a polemic about the NHS but an impressionistic account using aspects that have touched their experience.
