About this listen
Merren Hardy is delighted when her thirst for new experiences turns into a holiday job for an attractive older woman. She's more than happy to be muse, model, assistant, and lover - especially lover - for brilliant and successful Bianca Graves. After all, Merren's smart with a big-picture view of the world and a practical streak wide enough to deal with Bianca's difficulties. She's a problem-solver. Except there's one problem Merren's never had to solve before - what happens when you fall in love with a woman who can't see you properly?
Bianca's an artist losing her sight, desperate to find a way to continue painting and keep her career and sense of identity. She needs more than a muse, more than a young woman to model for her. She needs someone to reach out and touch her when everything's going dark - and help her find the way back to her life. Which surely means Merren's too young, too different, worlds apart in experience. Bianca knows a summer fling at such a difficult time is one thing - but it can't go any further.
As it turns out, however - there's more than one way to be blind.
Contains mature themes.

Love
The thing pull for me from chapter to chapter was the author’s ability to make a seeing person experience how it was like to be vision impaired. How everyday mundane things such as sunlight, flowers, even dust had a new lease of life in a newly blind person’s brain, other senses trying to compensate and comprehend information. The author made it possible to see as a blind person by feeling and smelling. Everything around so poetic, so sublime in words and colour.
From the beginning a niggling feeling at the back of my head was an imbalance in their relationship. I didn’t realise it was a foreshadowing since the author actually capitalised on this imbalance and made it a point of contention three quarters into the story. It was subtle but significant in the end.
