Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 5, 2012
The story revolves around the relationship between a blind celebrated mystery writer Anthony Lang and his personal assistant, Ashley Randall. This is a normal story except for the twist on the protagonist who is visually handicapped. Due to this handicap, the emotions experienced take on a heightened sensation and require extra attention to detail in ensuring there is chemistry between the protagonists.Sandra Ross has done a wonderful job in introducing a storyline that provides a refreshing view on the possibilities of love knocking on anyone's door.The background setting of the story in an isolated mansion is conducive for a relationship to develop between two people; romantic and sweet. The story begins with Ashley knocking on the door of the mansion wondering about her anxieties and feelings of whether she was doing the right thing. Her determination to improve her creative writing skills and to get hands-on experience provides her with the confidence to proceed knocking and entering her new career. This characterization reflects the strength and determination the protagonist possess in achieving her ambitions. The character of the other lead protagonist, Anthony Lang is also build up with similar traits.The story focuses on the intricacies of a relationship and the strength and determination required in sustaining a relationship especially where one partner has feelings of insecurity and wants to end the relationship. This is the focal point of interest in the story.Albeit an interesting storyline, the construction of sentences in the story tends to be rather loose. It can be further streamlined to provide a sharper focus on the buildup of the characters and their actions. Overall a good read.
