Read Well Book Club: The Sound of SCH
We are eager to share with you our second book club meeting, organised by the team at Our HEALing Voice (OHV) in collaboration with Wardah Books! Join us as we come together to share our thoughts and lived experiences inspired by The Sound of SCH by Danielle Lim.
From publisher Ethos Books: The Sound of SCH (pronounced S-C-H) is the true story of a journey with mental illness, beautifully told by Danielle Lim from a time when she grew up witnessing her uncle’s untold struggle with a crippling mental and social disease, and her mother’s difficult role as caregiver. The story takes place between 1961 and 1994, backdropped by a fast-globalising Singapore where stigmatisation of persons afflicted with mental illness nevertheless remains deep-seated. Unflinchingly raw and honest in its portrayal of living with schizophrenia, The Sound of Sch is a moving account of human resiliency and sacrifice in the face of brokenness.
