A conflict of minds

About this book

A white nurse working in apartheid-era South Africa. This is a nurse with public-health qualifications who arrives at a clinic that has badly neglected the "coloured" or "black" clinics she is responsible for. Despite having lived most of her life in South Africa, she runs up against many nursing challenges as well as challenges of race, language and culture. She works hard to overcome obstacles of sexism, lack of funding and low expectations. An easy read, showing a clear picture of life in that country, in that era, by someone who lived it.
