A review by pikusonali
Seeing Red by Lina Meruane
3.0
I got a recommendation of this book from one of my Facebook groups and it sounded interesting enough for me to invest in a kindle copy. This book is based on the writer's own experience. Here's how the story goes - A young woman has a delicate condition in which the blood vessels in her eyes can burst at any time and she can go blind suddenly. She has been advised against drinking, smoking, even having sex. One day at a party when her blood vessels suddenly explode and she goes blind, the story begins. It's a small book with short chapters and the heroine, her relationship with her family and her devoted boyfriend, her doctor is wonderfully explored in the book. Meruane has a subtle wry sense of humour and she narrates her life story passionately. It's an intelligent read and something different to try out so check it out.
