Blurb
Lucina, a young Chilean writer, has moved to New York to pursue an academic career. While at a party one night, something that her doctors had long warned might happen finally occurs: her eyes haemorrhage. Within minutes, blood floods her vision, reducing her sight to sketched outlines and tones of grey, rendering her all but blind. As she begins to adjust to a very different life, those who love her begin to adjust to a very different woman - one who is angry, raw, funny, sinister, sexual and dizzyingly alive.
My thoughts
What initially drew me to this book was the cover and how red it is! This isn't the first time I've been captivated by a book because of its gorgeous cover.
Seeing red appears to be a 'marmite' book. I am sad to report that this book wasn't for me at all, I struggled my way through it.
It had great potential, so I was disappointed when it didn't deliver.
It's a rather short book at only 150 pages and one that can read in one sitting.
This is a book I can only recommendif you just want to pass time.
My thanks go to Readers first for my copy of the book.
