With this extraordinary novel - which offers a thrillingly detailed inside look at the work of paramedics, devastating insight into anxiety disorders, and entertaining celebrity gossip - Zoe Whittall fulfills the promise of her acclaimed first novel, <EM>Bottle Rocket Hearts,</EM> and proves herself as one of our most talented younger writers.</DIV>" .
