Sheer delight in book form! Highly recommend the audio version, narrated brilliantly by J. Smith-Cameron and a perfectly-paced 4 hours 23 minutes long.

It’s pub day for Show Me Where It Hurts, and I couldn’t be happier to have it out in the world. Thank you to @juliasreading.bsky.social, Ansa Khan Khattak, @elaineegan.bsky.social, @louisecc.bsky.social and everyone who has worked so hard to bring this book to the shelves. I hope you enjoy it ❤️

GP and author Claire Gleeson: ‘I have dealt with patients who lose complete touch with reality’ Her debut novel, Show Me Where it Hurts, explores the before and after of an ‘out of the blue’ tragedy to devastating effect

It was such a pleasure to sit down with @niamhdonnelly.bsky.social and chat about Show Me Where It Hurts, life as a GP, and the long and winding road to publication.
