A Mistake: Film tie-in

Now a major motion picture written and directed by Christine Jeffs, featuring Elizabeth Banks. Elizabeth Taylor is a surgeon at a city hospital, a gifted, driven and rare woman excelling in a male-dominated culture. One day, while operating on a young woman in a critical condition, something goes gravely wrong. A Mistake is a compelling story of human fallibility, and the dangerous hunger for black and white answers in a world of exponential complication and nuance. 'A masterful dissection of truth and fallibility, hubris and high-minded sexism, in the form of a literary thriller' - 2020 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards 'A masterpiece which feels more like a body than a book - the life pumps and glugs and flexes inside its pages' -Pip Adam 'Razor sharp and compelling' -Kiran Dass
