Book description
"Hace décadas que Leah Anderson no ve el mundo, y tú nunca has visto un thriller como éste. El silencio de sus ojos hierve a fuego lento y burbujea como una olla de agua en ebullición; es una novela de suspenso tensa y elegante, conmovedora y paranoica a la vez, con un capítulo final de infarto. Magnífica". -A.J. Finn, autor de La mujer en la ventana, bestseller del New York Times Al estilo de Paula Hawkins y Ruth Ware, una intrigante novela de suspense psicológico acerca de una joven con una rara condición neurológica que está convencida de que su vecina va a ser asesinada Leah ha vivido con akinetopsia, o ceguera al movimiento, desde que era niña. Durante los últimos veinte años, no ha podido percibir el movimiento. Mientras pasea por su vecindario en Upper Manhattan con su bastón blanco guiando el camino, la mayoría de la gente asume que es ciega. Pero la verdad es que Leah ve mucho, y con sus agudos sentidos del olfato y la audición, muy poco escapa a su atención. Lleva una vida tranquila y ordenada, con poco contacto humano más allá de su ama de llaves de toda la vida, su psicólogo y su anciana vecina. Todo eso cambia cuando Alice se muda al apartamento de al lado y Leah puede oler de inmediato la ansiedad que emana de ella. Lo que es peor, Leah no puede evitar escuchar a Alice y a un visitante nocturno involucrarse en una violenta discusión. Preocupada, entabla amistad con su vecina y descubre que Alice está en medio de un complicado divorcio de un esposo abusivo. Luego, una noche, Leah se despierta con alguien en su apartamento. Pierde el conocimiento y por la mañana se pregunta si soñó el episodio. Sin embargo, el aroma del intruso la sigue a todas partes. Y cuando escucha a Alice al otro lado de la pared suplicando su ayuda, Leah toma una decisión que pondrá a prueba su valentía, su fuerza y, en última instancia, su cordura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Leah Anderson hasn't seen the world in decades --and you haven't seen a thriller like this ever. The Silence in Her Eyes simmers and bubbles like a pan of scalding water; it's a taut, elegant novel of suspense, both poignant and paranoid, with a gasp of a final chapter. Terrific stuff." -A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window 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 hasn't been able to see movement. As she walks around her upper Manhattan neighborhood with her white stick tapping in front, most people assume she's 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 can't 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.
