ABOUT THE BOOK

Two patients are fighting for their lives. Nina, the hospital nurse, reads their notes:

Leroy: stab wound, gang member, police escort.
Dev: stomach pain, artist, distraught mother.

Nina is meant to treat all her patients equally: not to pick favourites, and not to judge. Except tonight, understaffed and overstretched, both patients need her. She makes a split-second choice – and leaves one man to die.

And that’s when she realises that on this busy hospital ward, no-one is exactly what they seem…

‘Bold and compelling, with complex, memorable characters.’ Mary Watson, author of The Cleaner

‘Dark, profound and deeply thought provoking.’ Lisa Timoney

LETTERS TO OUR SONS an era-defining book on fathers and sons - submit your letters

Following the global phenomenon Adolescence, Stephen Graham wants to continue the conversation. Together with psychologist Orly Klein, he is asking fathers to write heartfelt letters to their sons – reflections on what matters most, the lessons they’ve learned, and the values they hope to pass down to the next generation. Selected letters will be published in Letters to Our Sons, a landmark book from Bloomsbury coming out in October 2026.
