This remarkable collection pulls no punches. Medical horrors, medical miracles, the funny side, the tragedy; Patricia Ferguson shies away from none of it. Her clear, straightforward prose, wicked sense of humour and compassionate perception bring the world of the hospital ward crisply into focus. Almost everyone has been a patient; everyone has a hospital story to tell - but Indefinite Nights contains the best ones you are ever likely to read.

She is a writer of considerable gifts, and Indefinite Nights marks a bold development of them - Times Literary Supplement

Talented, sympathetic, and funny - The Guardian

An excellent collection in its immediate surface observation...and more deeply, for the human content - Mark LeFanu, the Evening Standard

Shrewd, witty and informative...fascinatingly detailed and studded with self-conscious intelligence - The Observer

Sharply observed, blackly comic...described with a mordant humour that underlines their horror - Christina Koning, Time Out
