The Angina Monologues by Rosamund Kendal
The story of three very different women finding courage, love, and compassion in the most unlikely places, this narrative follows medical interns as they work in a rural South African hospital. Spoiled Rachel struggles to establish her independence and learns to love across the cultural divide; conservative Seema attempts to end a relationship that has become increasingly abusive; and street-savvy Nomsa finally accepts a past that she has spent a lifetime denying. Coping with rogue snakes, gang assassinations, and the public's denial of AIDS, these women demonstrate what it takes to be a doctor in South Africa.
"Accessible, honest, wry and funny, Kendal's book of one woman's journey of self-discovery is a must-read"Nikki Temkin, Heat Magazine "An honest South African story full of love and human drama". Elmarie Rautenbach, You Magazine "This story is so well told that it is hard to believe that it is fiction and that it was penned by a medical doctor. But on the other hand, its anecdotes are too real to be ficticious." - Kamogelo Seekooi, The Sowetan
After studying medicine for six years and then working as a doctor for another five, Rosamund decided that the creative side of her brain needed some stimulation and enrolled for the Masters degree in creative writing at UCT. She hasn't been able to decide whether she prefers being a freelance writer or a general practitioner, so she's come to a compromise and does both part-time.
