The Silence in Her Eyes: A Novel | Armando Lucas Correa
2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
In the vein of Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware, a bold and suspenseful psychological thriller about a young woman with a rare neurological condition who is convinced her neighbor is going to be murdered. Leah has been living with akinetopsia, or motion blindness, since she was a child. For the last twenty years, she hasnt been able to see movement. As she walks around her upper Manhattan neighborhood with her white stick tapping in front, most people assume shes blind. But the truth is Leah sees a good deal, and with her acute senses of smell and hearing, very little escapes her notice. She has a quiet, orderly life, with little human contact beyond her longtime housekeeper, her doctor, and her elderly neighbor. That all changes when Alice moves into the apartment next door and Leah can immediately smell the anxiety wafting off her. Worse, Leah cant help but hear Alice and a late-night visitor engage in a violent fight. Worried, she befriends her neighbor and discovers that Alice is in the middle of a messy divorce from an abusive husband. Then one night, Leah wakes up to someone in her apartment. She blacks out and in the morning is left wondering if she dreamt the episode. And yet the scent of the intruder follows her everywhere. And when she hears Alice through the wall pleading for her help, Leah makes a decision that will test her courage, her strength, and ultimately her sanity.

A very interesting premise for a book!

Leah is motion blind, which means what she sees is like a photograph until she blinks, frozen in time. When a new neighbour moves in, she is certain that this individual is going to be murdered. But how to stop what you can‘t see?

This is an entertaining and short thriller about a sheltered woman that has a vision impairment that does not allow her to see motion (akinetopsia). I found the writing style to be a little choppy, but in spite of that I enjoyed the story and the twists at the end. The last chapter had so many connected revelations that I ended up rereading it the next day to ensure that I fully understood them all, as the story stayed with me. 3.75/5 stars.
