Book Club reads “Somebody Loves You”

The September read for the book club is “Somebody Loves You” by Mona Arshi.

“A teacher asked me a question and I opened my mouth as a sort of formality but closed it softly, knowing with perfect certainty that nothing would ever come out again.” Ruby gives up talking at a young age. Her mother isn’t always there to notice; she comes and goes and goes and comes until one day she doesn’t. Silence becomes Ruby’s refuge, sheltering her from the weather of her mother’s mental illness and a pressurised suburban atmosphere.
