Star Gazing - Softcover
Blind since birth, widowed in her twenties, now lonely in her forties, Marianne Fraser lives in Edinburgh in elegant, angry anonymity with her sister, Louisa, a successful novelist.
Marianne's passionate nature finds expression in music, a love she shares with Keir, a man she encounters on her doorstep one winter's night. Keir makes no concession to her disability. He is abrupt to the point of rudeness, yet oddly kind.
But can Marianne trust her feelings for this reclusive stranger who wants to take a blind woman to his island home on Skye, to "show" her the stars?...
