The Blind Contessa’s New Machine by Carey Wallace
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Received from First Reads on Goodreads.
When you alight from your carriage onto the cobblestone drive of a home in Victorian Italy, you enter the world of Contessa Carolina, a young woman who loses her eyesight soon after her marriage to Pietro. Casey Wallace writes a lyrical first novel filled with imagery and eloquence.
While the story was quiet and simple, I gave five stars for her creative writing.
