This was a fantastic, tender love story, but it was also heartbreaking, a real tearjerker.
Nova is blind, yet decides to undertake pioneering surgery to allow herself to see. Thus begins a long journey of her learning to see, hence the title of the book, the rules of seeing.
On one of her hospital appointments she meets Kate, who following an attack from her police officer husband is suffering from neurological problems.
What starts as an awkward friendship develops slowly into a gorgeous romance, but Kate's ex-husband is determined never to let her go, with some heartbreaking consequences for their relationship.
The story takes places over several years, and is tender in places, yet harsh and almost scary in others.
I enjoyed it, but be warned it will make you cry as well as smile.
