Suddenly Silent and Still
by Nin Mok
A raw and vulnerable narrative about the author’s experience of sudden hearing loss and vertigo.
“The immediate lesson was obvious: my situation had changed and so must I.”
The author’s writing made you feel like you were beside her through it all. Disorienting and debilitating, the condition and its prognosis was offset by a supreme selection of quotes at the start of each chapter and a quiet determination in the author. I thought the final chapter was incredibly heartwarming and truly exemplified the author’s lovely way of writing and expressing herself.
Nin, I appreciate you entrusting me with your story and thank you for sending me a copy of your book. May your “realistic future with sensible hopes and dreams” be all you envisage it to be.
Verdict: A story of grief and loss, adaptability, and perspective.
