Cut

'An honest, incisive look at the cancer of entitlement and power.' - Filip Vukasin




'This gripping book doesn't pull any punches in exposing the misogyny in surgery. I fell in love with Carla, one of the most authentic and relatable heroines I've met for a long time. I adored this book.' - Alison Reynolds


Cut is a thrilling, provocative novel set against the backdrop of a major Melbourne hospital's 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.
