📱 eBook en inglés Invisible

A lyrical and beautifully realised novel about a blind mans experiences of the world around him, from the acclaimed author of Ghost MacIndoe.
Edward Morton, a blind translator, arrives at the Oak, an ailing spa hotel in the west of England, intending to stay for a few days to visit his family and to work. The manager of the Oak, Malcolm Caldecott, is preparing for the closure of the hotel, and for the visit of Stephanie, the daughter he has not seen for eight years. Eloni Dobra, a chambermaid at the Oak, is striving to establish a life in England, and to free herself of a burden that is crucial to her relationship both with her employer and with Edward Morton. As the nature of that burden becomes clearer, each of these four protagonists and the absent fifth – Mortons lover – move towards a crisis and, like the Oak itself, towards an uncertain future.
Spanning the last three weeks of the Oaks existence, Invisible explores multiple voices – voices in conversation, voices in writing, on tape, in memory. Its an investigation of our perception of the world and our place in it, of the pleasures and deceptions of the senses, of the uses of language, of the lure of nostalgia and the difficulties of living in the present.
Above all, like Buckleys previous novel, Ghost MacIndoe, its a lyrical celebration of the transient, and an original study of love.
