Author's reading brings laughter/camaraderie/bodily fluids to Castlegar library
By Castlegar Source
A rollicking tale of long hours, camaraderie, and bodily fluids—along with a healthy dose of humour—comes to Castlegar & District Public Library on May 13 at 7 p.m. with a presentation by author Jennifer Craig.
Yes Sister, No Sister, is a funny, engaging memoir of the author’s life as a trainee nurse in the 1950s in Leeds, England, delivered with Craig’s trademark Yorkshire humour. The book made the London Times bestseller list and has sold in excess of 100,000 copies.
In Yes Sister, No Sister, we meet Craig and her colleagues: warm-hearted yet naïve girls who must endure strict discipline, long hours, and yes, those ever-present bodily fluids. But we also see the friendships that develop in sneaked trips to the cinema and mischievous escapades with young trainee doctors. The harsh conditions prove too much for some girls, but the desire to help her patients keeps Jenny reaching for compassion and humour to pull her through.
Last year Jennifer Craig’s Yes Sister, No Sister was shortlisted for the Kootenay Library Federation’s One Book, One Kootenay. She was so popular that the KLF sponsored this current tour through the Kootenays. The Castlegar & District Public Library is thrilled to be part of this tour. Please join us for a wonderful evening with a talented and engaging author.
