Publisher's Synopsis
Lina, a young Chilean academic living in New York, suddenly retreats from a house party, complaining of a sharp pain in her head, right behind the eyes. What she assumes is a simple headache turns out to be far worse: she is suffering a hemorrhage. Within minutes, blood floods her optic nerve, reducing her vision to sketched outlines and tones of grey, rendering her all but blind. As she begins to adjust to a very different life, those who love her begin to adjust to a very different woman - one who is angry, raw, funny, complicated, sexual and dizzyingly alive.
