Sinopse
Características

A novel of love, war and kindness, inspired by a true story of medical genius and betrayal. Sydney, 1948.Brilliant German surgeon, Hugo Winter, is dead, and his protégé, Lucy Brynne, is tasked with sorting his papers. Among them, Lucy finds glimpses of Hugo’s past that paint a disturbing picture of war and prejudice – a portrait of Australia she can barely recognise.Days later, an intriguing patient comes into her care on the orthopaedic ward at Sydney Hospital: one Mr Jim Cleary. Lucy’s experience as an army physiotherapist, as well as her own very personal knowledge of pain, tell her there’s more to this man’s fractured leg than meets the eye.As she pieces together who Jim Cleary really is and the truth behind his injury, she not only falls for his laconic charm, but discovers the rival surgeon who relentlessly persecuted Hugo – the same man who has every intention of shattering Jim’s life completely now.Inspired by a true story of medical genius and betrayal, Walking is a crisply told tale of bigotry and obsession, love and devastation, and one that charts the transformative power of kindness above all.‘colourful, evocative and energetic’Sydney Morning Heralddeeply moving…alive, full-hearted and shimmering with hope’ – Belinda Castles, Bluebottle‘Kelly is a masterful creator of character and voice.’ – Julian Leatherdale, Palace of Tears‘history that makes you think as well as feel’ – Wendy James, The Golden Child‘an author who writes with such a striking sense of atmosphere and sublime instinct’ – Theresa Smith Writes‘storytelling is clearly encoded in her DNA’ – Writerful Books‘It is uplifting to know that there are people who can write like this, with clarity, a bit of devilment and a hint of a smile.’ Canberra Times‘marvellous depth and authenticity based on s
