‘Stylish, mordant, and pitch-perfect – I read it in one sitting. If Rachel Cusk or Sally Rooney had been junior doctors they might have come up with something like this’ Gavin Francis

‘The Night Interns is an utterly immersive read. Duffy has managed to capture the claustrophobia, exhaustion and constant pressure of life in a contemporary hospital so effectively I could physically feel the tension on every page. A gripping, honest and incredibly important book’ Jan Carson

‘The Night Interns is a sharp shock of a book, visceral, and acutely affecting’ Lisa McInerney

'With the dark humour and moral seriousness that make Austin Duffy's writing so captivating, The Night Interns brilliantly portrays the excruciating stress of constantly feeling that what is expected of you may well be more than you are capable of achieving’ Carys Davies

‘Entirely gripping, like Squid Games for medical students. The Night Interns exposes a fascinating but terrifying backstage glimpse of an apparently-functioning hospital where the director is a tyrant, the producer is unhinged, and the actors don't know their lines. It is highly unusual that a person who has access to knowledge as specialised as this - the mechanics of life and death - is also gifted with an artist's sensibility. This novel is to be prized on so many levels’ Claire Kilroy
