Review of NADEEM'S JOURNEY
[Following is a volunteer review of "NADEEM'S JOURNEY" by Sherine Anniruth.]
Nadeem's Journey is a story told through the eyes of the grieving mother of an accomplished young man who by all accounts had a brilliant life ahead of him. Written with raw emotion and unflinching honesty, the book offers readers an intimate portrayal of the profound impact that an illness can have on a family. The story unfolds through the memories of Nadeem's mother, whose narrative voice is both undeniably painful and deeply moving. The book shows the unbreakable bond between a mother and her first born child, no matter the age.
The author's description is meaningful and immersive, painting scenes that transport readers into the heart of the family's struggles. From the initial shock of the diagnosis to the moments of hope and despair that follow, each chapter is infused with a sense of urgency and poignancy that keeps the reader emotionally invested until the very end. The book is interspersed with family photos, so the reader gains an added depth by offering a visual connection to the central figure of the patient, Nadeem.
Anyone who has had doctors dismiss them or a family member can relate to the mother of Nadeem who tirelessly makes his correct diagnosis her main goal. Through arrogant doctors and unsure diagnoses, the support that Nadeem’s family gives him is vital to his continued fight against the disease no matter how much pain he experiences. One of the most striking aspects of the book is its exploration of the mother's inner turmoil as she confronts her own fears and anxieties while trying to remain a pillar of strength for her son and two other children. “A mum is supposed to be the pillar for her children, and if I wasn’t strong, the wall would crumble” is one of the great quotes from the book.
Furthermore, Nadeem's Journey sheds light on the importance of support networks for those who are caregivers. Through the mother's interactions with doctors, family, friends and work colleagues of Nadeem, the book emphasizes the significance of compassion and finding a support network while facing a life threatening disease.
I give this book a 5 out of 5 since it was a very moving story of a mother and her son who was faced with the undeniable conclusion of his life. There were no errors in the book, and it moved at a quick pace which made it an easy read over the course of a day.
In conclusion, Nadeem's Journey is a profoundly moving and thought-provoking book that offers valuable insights into the lived experience of illness and diagnosis. It is a testament to the power of storytelling to inspire empathy, compassion, and understanding for readers, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page is turned.
