This is an interesting book which explores love in it's many forms, violence and fear.
Nova was born blind. When she has the opportunity to have an operation that will let her see there's a lot to think about.
Meanwhile Kate is a successful architect and, seemingly, happily married to Tony.
Appearances can be deceptive though and when Nova and Kate meet in hospital this chance encounter leaves a lasting impression on them both.
Each has their own darkness to overcome and they are drawn to each other again and again, each using the other as a means of navigating their own particular maze.
I thought the book very cleverly presented some of the issues around sight - something the majority take for granted - and how each of the main protagonists feared leaving the life they knew and had become comfortable in.
