Hospital Boy

By Barrie Mahoney

Book Overview

What was it like to grow up in a hospital?
For Barrie Mahoney, Holbeach Hospital was more than a place of healing-it was home.
Through the eyes of a curious young boy, Hospital Boy brings to life a vanished world of post-war Britain, where devoted parents, dedicated nurses, unforgettable patients and an entire community became one extended family.
Warm, funny and deeply moving, this memoir celebrates kindness, resilience and the enduring spirit of the early National Health Service. Above all, it is a story about the people who shape our lives and the places that shape our hearts.
Once you meet Hospital Boy and his family, you will never forget them.
