Breathtaking: Inside the NHS in a Time of Pandemic by Rachel Clarke

4.0

---

This is an extraordinary book laying bare the realities of what it was like within the NHS in the first wave of the pandemic. It should be compulsory reading for anyone still labouring under the misapprehension that our government have handled COVID-19 well, or that they've "done their best". Knowing that the situation only worsened after the book was finished is devastating.
