a memoir of a life without light
Once Anna Lyndsey had an ordinary life. She was young and ambitious and worked hard. She had just bought an apartment and she was falling in love. Then, what began as a mild intolerance to certain types of artificial light, developed into a sensitivity of all light. During the worst times, Anna must spend months in a blacked-out room where she loses herself in audio books and elaborate word games in an attempt to stave off despair. In periods of relative remission, she can venture out cautiously at dawn or dusk. Eventually, Anna's unthinkable fate becomes a love story from which we can see light and the world anew.
