Galardonada con el Premio Booker, una narración que combina suspense gótico, saga familiar y ciencia ficción 1945. Diez dÃas después del final de la guerra, Laura Chase se tira por un puente y deja a Iris, su hermana mayor, un manuscrito titulado «El asesino ciego . Medio siglo más tarde, Iris reflexiona sobre su vida nada ejemplar, en particular sobre los acontecimientos que rodearon la trágica muerte de su hermana. El principal de ellos, la publicación de «El asesino ciego , una novela que le valió a Laura no sólo reconocimiento, sino también culto devoto, y que describe una arriesgada pasión amorosa en los años treinta entre una joven adinerada y un hombre que se ha dado a la fuga. A medida que el amor, el sacrificio y la traición complican la historia inventada y la real, los acontecimientos se precipitan hacia la catástrofe. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale and The Testaments weaves together strands of gothic suspense, romance, and science fiction into one utterly spellbinding narrative, beginning with the mysterious death of a young woman named Laura Chase in 1945. Decades later, Laura's sister Iris recounts her memories of their childhood, and of the dramatic deaths that have punctuated their wealthy, eccentric family's history. Intertwined with Iris's account are chapters from the scandalous novel that made Laura famous, in which two illicit lovers amuse each other by spinning a tale of a blind killer on a distant planet. These richly layered stories-within-stories gradually illuminate the secrets that have long haunted the Chase family, coming together in a brilliant and astonishing final twist.
