Bitter Pill

A J Linney

KEY SELLING POINTS

A story of two professionals with opposing views on conventional and holistic medicine.
Covers themes of love, betrayal, friendship, war, health & disease, autism, death, rape, and the consequences
of the choices we make in our lives.
The novel explains that every aspect of health care is just as valid, and that everyone has the right to an
opinion and choice.

Lexie and Pippa have been best friends since they were students, but now their hopes and ambitions are taking
them down very different paths.

Lexie, driven to find help for her autistic brother, works for a pharmaceutical giant. Tough, self-sufficient and
practical, she has sacrificed personal relationships in her quest for money and influence. In contrast Pippa is
an idealistic homeopathic doctor who is driven by her desire to truly care for people. She’s devoted to her
husband, RAF pilot Oliver, and their little boy. She feels more and more alienated from the values of her
erstwhile best friend.

Home on leave, Oliver attempts to thaw the frosty relationship between the women. But the chemistry between
him and Lexie leads to a night of passion that will change all their fates. And Oliver harbours another, far more
terrible secret. When it is revealed, can the broken bonds of love and friendship ever be healed? Or have
professional rivalry, bitterness and betrayal fractured those bonds forever?

A J Linney is passionate about healing. A trained nurse and homeopath, where systems collide, inspired her
novel Bitter Pill. She lives in Cornwall and her writing has previously featured in two Cornish anthologies. She
is currently writing a non-fiction book: Homeopathy at Home, a memoir: Lyrical Gypsy, and a novel: Pinky & the
White Man.
