About this listen
By the bestselling authors of The Glass House, Anne Buist & Graeme Simsion, comes the second novel in the groundbreaking Menzies Mental Health series
Trainee psychiatrist Doctor Hannah Wright has only just got her head above water in the acute psychiatric ward at Menzies Hospital when she's thrown into the deep end of the outpatient clinic. Keen to develop her skills in talking therapies, she finds herself up against a boss who's focused on medication and a senior colleague with a score to settle.
Hannah's fellow first-years face problems of their own: on-and-off flame Alex is being bullied, Ndidi's marriage is in trouble, Jon feels isolated and Carey is concerned their autism will be a career barrier.
While Hannah comes under pressure to seek therapy herself to confront a traumatic past, her patients' health issues range from OCD to ice addiction, childhood abuse to the mental impact of ageing, and from bad parenting to bad genes. They all come to the Oasis.
Written with great humanity and humour, Australian psychiatrist Anne Buist and internationally bestselling author Graeme Simsion (The Rosie Project) welcome us into the world of mental health with compassion and insight.

Entertaining peek into psychiatrists training
A terrific fictional book that gave really good insight into the challenges of mental health clients for psychiatrists in training. Audio book narrator is great.

I bloody loved this!
Putting yourself in the thick of difficult mental health situations doesn’t seem like a recipe for happiness, but there is so much wisdom, empathy and acceptance of people’s fallibility in this book, that I’d happily read more in this series! It’s not about happy-ever-afters, it’s about caring enough to put in the work and the Oasis staff and their colleagues do that beautifully. Thank you!
