"Dissection is a perfectly judged and beautifully written account of a 43-year-old woman, a doctor managing her own general practice. With a malpractice suit in process against her, she is no longer sure she can get it right, at least not every time. The novel gradually unfolds the complexities involved in making a diagnosis, and becoming involved in the consequences of an error. Or was it an error? Alongside her work and visits to her solicitor, Anna is mother to her boys and wife to Paul. Her husband seems to be infatuated with a new young designer at his office, and Anna finds herself having to entertain this woman at home."--Provided by publisher.
