No Readgrets Book Club Discussion 22 Aug 2026: We Saw Mountains

We're discussing four fantastical stories from We Saw Mountains by Diana Rahim and exploring how they crack open everyday life to reveal possibilities of autonomy, repair, and becoming. Then, Transformative Justice Collective will share their vision for systemic change and what it means to respond to harm with care, accountability, and community repair instead of punitive punishment.

The four stories for discussion are:

A Minor Kalahari - a story of displacement and survival

The Restoration - about repair, return, and what it means to heal

What The Belly Contains - an unsettling look at capitalism's grip on care and wellness

We Saw The Mountain - on witnessing transformation and possibility

1230-1300: Transform Justice Collective Singapore shares on alternatives to justice and punishment, and community accountability

No Readgrets is a women-led book club that creates safe spaces for meaningful conversations around inspiring books and the ideas that extend beyond their pages. We facilitate discussions on literature and film from local creators and about social issues in Singapore, exploring the everyday lives that inspire fiction and the larger forces that shape non-fiction. Because the best part of reading a good book? Telling everyone about it.

Transformative Justice Collective is a collective founded on the principles of transformative justice, and committed to seeking the reform of Singapore’s criminal punishment system, starting with the abolition of the death penalty.
