MY REVIEW
A dark look at the future of the healthcare system
Very sad and a very emotional read, about aging and dementia . The few lines that broke my heart. I’m quite sure that many readers will want to read more of Overdrawn to find out what happens. These lines broke my heart. Henry Morris is told I’m afraid your wife’s diagnosis is indisputable. Mr Morris. The doctor smiled , too widely. Black news comes after flashes of white teeth. He sat down and opened the lime green tome of a file on the desk. I’ve been reviewing your wife’s case. In light of the information you gave my colleague over the phone , I think It’s safe to say her current dose of Hepraxin is no longer sufficient. Would you agree?
This is a commercial novel, that appeals to fans of dystopian fiction and political thrillers. It’s a highly topical novel, inspired by the rise of racism and nationalism. If you like reading Margaret Atwood and Naomi Alderman then Overdrawn is the perfect read for you.
