Star Gazing by Linda Gillard

Star Gazing by Linda Gillard

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 solace and expression in music, a love she finds she shares with Keir, a man she encounters on her doorstep one winter's night. Whilst Marianne has had her share of men attracted to her because they want to rescue her, Keir makes no concession to her condition. He is abrupt to the point of rudeness, and 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?

This was a joy to read from the first page to the last..Romantic and quirky and beautifully written * Lovereading * ‘Shamelessly romantic tale set in Scotland with a blind woman…Her ability to ‘see’ *
through music is beautifully handled. A fascinating love story * The Bookseller * 'A story of love, music, and nature...very engaging...an enjoyable novel by a reliably good writer’ *
Adele Geras
