Book review: To Provide All People, by Owen Sheers

In a decade and a half of reviewing books for this newspaper, I have never once felt strongly that a new publication should be made compulsory reading; after all, if history has taught us anything it’s that, on the whole, people who tell others what they should or shouldn’t read are not to be trusted. That said, if it were up to me this clear-sighted yet emotionally charged hymn to the NHS by the Welsh poet Owen Sheers would be added to the curriculum in every high school from Land’s End to John O’Groats with immediate effect.
