Alison is joined over Zoom by author Dr. Ineke Meredith, to discuss her extraordinary memoir, On Call: Stories from my life as a surgeon, a daughter and a mother, published by Harper Collins New Zealand.

The world of surgery is strange, messy, intense and lonely. Life, death, chaos and limited family life: is life in scrubs worth the sacrifice?

On Call can be borrowed from Bestie collection displays in all Auckland Council libraries or requested from the Auckland Libraries catalogue. Available in multiple formats: https://bit.ly/46pPqcn

This interview was recorded for Auckland Council Libraries' We Read Auckland festival of Auckland's readers and writers, celebrated 1 - 31 August 2024. Visit aucklandlibraries.govt.nz/WeReadAKL for more details.
