alliecollyer 's review for:
Suddenly Silent and Still
by Nin Mok
I was given a free ARC of the book in exchange for an voluntary unbiased review.
Nin’s book is a deeply personal account of her sudden hearing loss resulting in single sided deafness with the added challenge of ongoing vertigo.
I experienced the same condition 2 years ago so it was really interesting to read of someone else’s experience and how they navigated their new world. I felt jarred at times of how Nin describes herself as broken and how she speaks of the tragedy of what happened - I don’t consider myself or the situation this way at all. This isn’t to say that either of us are right or wrong, just very different perspectives I think.
I really recommend this book to everyone as it definitely shows that life can change in an instant and that we should have more empathy for others whether we can identify with their situation or not.
I was really happy to get to the end to see that Nin and her family have grown together through this experience and that she has found joy in a more simple life.
