A beautifully written memoir detailing Antrobus’ experiences with deafness.

He details how his deafness - from diagnosis to acceptance - has affected his life from struggles at school and with his self-esteem to communicating with his son.

He also looks at deafness throughout history, art and music as well as his experiences both in England and Jamaica.

A fascinating and informative read.
