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?

KEIR ES PARA Marianne solo una voz: una voz masculina, profunda, que le recuerda el buen chocolate negro, ese tan sabroso, casi afrutado, pero con un toque amargo. Luego es una sensación: la de un rostro entre sus manos. Y conversaciones, conversaciones que la sorprenden, la devuelven a la vida y le hacen recuperar la esperanza, el miedo, el anhelo, el deseo.
