I couldn't stop turning the pages. At a party it was happening. Right then. The doctors had been warning Lucina, for a long time.
At Twelve o’clock sharp she gave her an injection, when her purse fell to floor Lucina bent down to pick it up. And then a firecracker went off in her head. But no, it was no fire that she was seeing, it was blood spilling out inside her eye.
Until twelve o’clock that night Lucina had perfect vision. But by three o’clock Sunday morning, even the most powerful magnifying glass wouldn’t have helped her.
Seeing Red is a harrowing semi-autobiographical novel that I have read. I would recommend reading Seeing Red as Lina Meruane is one of the one or two greats in the new generation of Chilean writers who promise to have it all.
