This novel tells the story of Owen Morgan, a junior doctor trying to find his feet in the modern Welsh healthcare system. Unfortunately he is peculiarly ill-equipped to survive the demands of the ever-changing world of hospital medicine - or indeed of his feisty Indian wife, his two sons, and their tumultuous home life. Born to Welsh working-class parents, Owen and his family must overcome cultural issues, health issues, family quarrels, and personality incompatibilities during the biggest upheaval in medical training for decades as a Labour government pushes through its controversial reforms. And then there is Colleen. The very lovely, ever loyal Colleen - the love of Owen's life. If only he knew it. "An exceptional and deftly crafted story, The Last House Officer clearly showcases author Gwyn Williams as an impressively gifted novelist."—The Midwest Book Review
