Lives bustle within a busy hospital's walls, humming against the Gower landscape that stretches beyond its windows. The tiny worlds of a wide cast unfold as they deal with their own emergencies, losses, recoveries, hopes and histories. Medical students stride the length of the corridor in rubber shoes, scars running the lengths of their lives.

A janitor is crying in the Gents', watching the flowers at the hospital entrance shrug themselves back into earth. The biblical Lilith offers knowledge from onewoman to the other. And somewhere in the distance, a bunker dissolves into gold upon Pennard's shoulder, dusk folding to sleep on Rhossili.

The characters in this book are all bound by the undying pulse of existence - yet their stories serve as a reminder that despite these stark contrasts, life persists.
