Product Description
In a small Irish village, young Esther Costello, victim of a tragic accident that has left her deaf, dumb and blind, is kept barely alive by hardhearted parents. Discovered by a well-meaning American tourist, who is appalled by Esther's shocking condition, she is whisked away to America for treatment. But all the advances of American medicine are unable to bring about a cure and with unceasing devotion, her patron decides to devote her life to Esther's care. But a nationwide campaign to raise public awareness eventually results in donations being diverted to the woman's personal account, and in a harrowing twist to the tale, Esther's faculties are restored, with shocking consequences.
Customer Reviews
This is my first Monsarrat novel. It won't be my last. I read this, like another reviewer, because I had recently watched the movie. The novel is even darker, more disturbing and compelling. I strongly recommend this book. The writing is extraordinary and the story will resonate with me for some time.
