About The Book
Two blind teenagers meet and fall in love at Craigton Hall.
The setting is a special school for the blind in Edinburgh. The time is the middle of the last century. Seven years after the end of the second world war, Scotland is still drab with austerity and prejudice. But the 'mole of sexual revolution' is running underground.
