Description

A Tale Of Schizophrenia

What if your mind became a maze and your memories the only map out?

In this semi-fictional narrative, Diana Dirkby draws from her own life and her mother’s struggles with paranoid schizophrenia to tell the story of Sarah, a brilliant young woman navigating love, madness and memory.

Told in lyrical prose, The Overlife dismantles the stigma of schizophrenia with empathy and insight, revealing how identity can be rebuilt from fragments. It’s a haunting yet hopeful novel about survival, scar tissue and the fragile beauty of trying again.
