Moral Injuries follows three female doctors Olivia (a cardiothoracic surgeon), Laura (an air ambulance physician), and Anjali (a GP) who have been best friends since medical school. A semi-forgotten crisis from their student years resurfaces when their children become involved in a new, unsettling event. Alternating between 1999 and 2024, the novel explores themes of loyalty, guilt, ethical dilemma, and how far people will go to protect their own. Reviews “A stellar medical drama AND a psychological study into the impact of secrecy and moral dilemmas on three intelligent women.” — Fictionophile “Three female doctors in present-day London find their friendship and their ethics tested…” — Publishers Weekly “Christie Watson shines in her portrayal of medicine as an imperfect blend of art, science, and emotion.” — The Guardian
