Publisher's Synopsis
As Jake makes his way through a pandemic-hit first year as a doctor, cynicism begins to set in: his is a profession of little thanks and heavy consequences. But as the year goes on in solitude, he develops a uniquely comforting friendship with Timothy, his elderly neighbour. When he realises his actions in the hospital have had an unwanted, tragic impact on the life of his friend, Jake begins questioning his own values and intentions.
Mortality Meeting looks behind the 'healthcare hero' narrative and portrays the weight of the medical profession on young shoulders. With the COVID-19 pandemic as its epic backdrop, it tells a story about honesty and isolation on a smaller, more intimate scale.
