Dirty Work

A lot of novels are called "brave", and they aren’t. This one is.

Lionel Shriver

Weston excels at writing about medicine precisely…but with great subtlety of tone that allows readers to appreciate the human faultlines that lie beneath conventional portraits of doctoring.

Vivienne Parry, The Times

Few writers capture the mentality of surgery as incisively as Ms Weston has managed to. Her experiences in hospitals are palpable on the page.

Economist

Weston has an unwavering passion for the truth as well as the courage to tell it.

Ian Thomson, Sunday Telegraph (Seven)

Highly intense… Impressive stuff.

Doug Johnstone, Big Issue

Extremely powerful.

Extraordinarily powerful.

An important and thought-provoking book.

Will certainly raise questions for further thought by the reader even after putting the book down.

We Love This Book

Intense.

Victoria Burt, UK Regional Press Syndication

The subject matter is brave and necessary… Weston is a superb writer of lucid and evocative prose… This is not a dark book so much as a deeply thoughtful one. I would make it obligatory for the medical curriculum.

Leyla Senai, Independent

Gripping, well-researched and elegantly written – but definitely not for the squeamish.

Rosamund Urwin, Evening Standard

Scalpel-sharp.

Ian Thomson, Observer

Weston’s fast-paced novel raises questions of integrity, morality and medical ethics.

Dirty Work is a fascinating, thought-provoking and at times deeply troubling tale. Weston presents a balanced and brutally honest portrayal of a difficult theme.
