Cut (Large Print)

Description

Cut is a thrilling, provocative novel set against the backdrop of a major Melbourne hospitals surgical team in the time before #metoo blew the lid off institutionalised misogyny and sexism (and will appeal to readers of Love & Virtue and Emotional Female). Carla is a young doctor striving to become the first female surgeon at a prestigious Melbourne hospital. When a consultant post opens up, she competes with her lover for the job and thinks she can be judged on merit. But an assault after a boozy workplace dinner leaves her traumatised and struggling to cope with the misogyny coming from every corner of her workplace. Recovering her fragmented memories from that night, Carla begins a fight for justice that will shake the foundations of the hospital she loves.

Sue White is a doctor and a writer based in Northcote, Melbourne, Victoria. As a clinical geneticist, Susan hunts for answers to undiagnosed genetic conditions in children. Shortlisted for the Kill Your Darlings Unpublished Manuscript Award in 2017, CUT is her first work of adult fiction.
