SALES POINTS: * 1993 Whitbread winner and a hugely prestigious author. * Beautifully written, not a hint of self pity, not overwrought but brutal. . . shocking in its truth, the casualness of its cruelty, it should be read with great care - Dirkk Bogarde.

THE BOOK; Alice Kessleris a fighter and when she is told that her husband only has a few months left to live, she refuses to accept it. Instead Alice searches relentlessly for a doctor willing to offer a better prognosis and when she fails to find one in England, she takes her beloved Peter back to where they came from. America, the land of miracles. But Alice soon discovers that their fight is far from over. Death Comes for Peter Pan is a turbulent and unpredictable love story - the story of a young woman's fight for her husband's dignity and a powerful indictment of the politics that rule medicine today.
