Beschreibungen
<p>Can a life weave along through the same notes and yet come to play forth different sounds?<br/><br/><br/><I>The Sound of SCH</I> (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, <I>The Sound of Sch</I> is a moving account of human resiliency and sacrifice in the face of brokenness.<br/><br/>Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize (Non-Fiction 2016)</p>
