Synopsis
“Sedgwick plunges us deep into Laureth’s experience, detailing the actions and considerations that seem tiny to the sighted—such as deciphering money, shaking hands, using a phone, or standing in line—but which are wholly different for the visually impaired. This fast-paced thriller delivers a compelling mystery, thought-provoking questions about existence, and brilliantly lifelike characters.”
Booklist, starred review, on the English-language edition"Printz-winner Sedgwick again demonstrates his remarkable versatility, trading the generations-spanning horrors of his recent books for an equally tense contemporary story about coincidence, obsession, and the ways in which we see the world." —Publishers Weekly, starred review, on the English-language edition. "A thriller that challenges readers’ understanding of the universe. . . . It’s no coincidence that Sedgwick has crafted yet another gripping tale of wonder." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on the English-language edition.
