You don't need eyes, let alone a mirror, to peer into the depths of your own soul.Sight is a privilege denied to everyone by law in the land of Parinara. Every child is blindfolded at birth. Even the dead are buried blindfolded. To see is an unpardonable crime, punishable by death.Yet, fifteen-year-old Viola indulges in a momentary curiosity and violates the law, only to find that the gift of sight comes at an exorbitant price.To look outward, she must first lose sight of what lies inward. But therein lie the secrets that even sightlessness cannot conceal.
