Doctor and Son

Penguin Putnam~mass

Dr Grimsdyke was only too pleased to discover that he was sitting next to the luscious Lucy Squiffington on his flight home. Several hours in her company was bound to go well – in fact it went rather too well seeing as how the long-suffering Anemone was waiting for him back home. A fact Grimsdyke seemed to have completely forgotten. And as if juggling two women wasn’t enough, the Jellybone sisters then enter the scene with a troupe of female contortionists neatly in tow – hardly likely to help straighten things out for poor Grimsdyke. As he ponders his options, Grimsdyke falls headlong into a series of hilarious mishaps that leave him almost on the point of drowning.

What ails the meek little Dean of St. Swithin's Hospital Medical School? Is it his sadness at finally having to write the obituary notice of his fearsome old sparring-partner, Sir Lancelot Spratt? Is it his unmarried daughter's pregnancy - his wife's emotional tantrums - his consulting the mysterious psychiatrist next door with the even more mysterious willowy blond secretary? Or is it just the male menopause? These are the elements of stark tragedy. But in the hands of Richard Gordon they become, as one might expect, hilarious comedy.

‘She was emotional, she was vain, she was incomparable. She was a passionate cultivator of new ideas on the compost-heap of long rotted ones. She had a genius for rubbing noses into facts right in front of them. She had infinite capability and little tenderness. Her antiseptic ghost today haunts every sickbed in the world, to which she was Britain’s most valuable and useful gift.’ This harsh and gritty story of Florence Nightingale does little to perpetuate the myth of the gentle lady of the lamp. Instead, through the eyes of his impassioned narrator, Richard Gordon lays bare the truth of this complex and chilling character.
