Tell Me I'm Here | Anne Deveson

2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read

This is the compelling story of Jonathan, a charming teenager who turns into a fearful and tormented young man; it is also the heart-rending story of a mother facing the realisation that her child is going mad. First published in 1991, this book has become a classic, and is as moving and as relevant today as it ever was. This 1998 edition has been updated with a new Foreword from the author detailing the effects this book has had on society, both in Australia and worldwide; a new Afterword which discusses the advances in treatments for schizophrenia and developments in community attitudes and programs for mental illnesses in general; and a new, up-to-date section on Where to Go for Help.

This book. Once I started, I could not put it down. Anne Deveson writes about her son Jonathan‘s lived experience of schizophrenia, focusing on the impact it had on her and the family. Deeply moving, tragic and devastating. Absolutely outstanding and essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand chronic mental health issues. Vale Anne Deveson (and her daughter, writer Georgia Blain).

Rissreads I‘m so glad it was as good as you hoped! 8mo

Had one of those blissful days with @Rissreads yesterday where we met up at the Elizabeth‘s second hand book warehouse, browsed and rummaged, then followed it up with a decadent lunch. This is my little haul 📚. I was so happy to find the tagged book & can‘t wait to read it.

Rissreads It was a fabulous day as always! 🧡 9mo
