Powerful novel.
I wanted tore read parts especially relating to thyroid deficiency in order to educate people who left me to die when my thyroid scores were off the chart. I had very sou d reasons for revisiting The Citadel. Myxodoema is causing mortality. Around 50 percent of patients will not recover.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Effective
Book content is excellent. Book quality however is quite poor. It is an ex library book that has been well used. Some pages repaired with yellowing Sellotape whilst others are almost coming adrift. I am hoping all pages are intact as it is a book club nominated read that I must complete.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Old story but a cracking read.
A good story told in an engaging style. Reflects the lives of those of the South Wales valleys just before the creation of the NHS. The lives of the persons in the area & later London well drawn. The interplay between the high principled standards of Dr Andrew Manson whose upbringing sees him striving for success & recognition but brought low by material things. Throughout his ever caring wife, Christine holds to her beliefs and eventually after estrangement & over reliance on material things they both find peace. The cruel twist is at this moment of happiness tradegy strikes both personally & professionally. However Manson, with the help of his long lasting friend, Phillip Denny, wins through. A totally engaging & absorbing book with infusions of medical detail. An old book but a cracking read!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Citadel by A J Cronin
Read this book originally in the 1960s. Found it so absorbing and vivid in its description of a young doctor overcoming prejudice and institutional inertia. Now , once again, rekindling that initial admiration for A J Cronin’s literary genius.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
