Girl in the Dark: A Memoir

Haunting, lyrical, unforgettable,Â Girl in the Dark is a brave new memoir of a life without light.

Â Â Â Â Â Anna Lyndsey wasÂ young andÂ ambitious and worked hard; she had just bought an apartment; she was falling in love. Then what started as a mildÂ intoleranceÂ to certain kinds of artificialÂ light developed into a severe sensitivity to all light.Â
Â Â Â Â Now, at the worst times,Â AnnaÂ is forced toÂ spend months on end in a blacked-out room, where she losesÂ herself in audiobooks and elaborate word games in an attempt to ward off despair. During periods of relative remission, she can venture out cautiouslyÂ at dawn and dusk into a world that, from the perspective of her cloistered existence, is filled with remarkable beauty. AndÂ through it all there isÂ Pete, her love and her rock, without whomÂ herÂ loneliness seems boundless.
Â Â Â Â One day Anna had an ordinary life, and then the unthinkable happened. But even impossible lives, she learns, endure. Girl in the Dark is a tale of an unimaginable fate that becomes a transcendent love story. It brings us to an extraordinary place fromÂ which we emerge to see the lightÂ and the world anew.
