| Annotation |
Revelations from various witnesses and participants relate the singular story of a South African man who was deaf, mute, and blind since infancy and who at age fifty regains his sight, hearing, and voice. Based on actual medical cases, this polished first novel is a vivid and often painful tribute to the human spirit. Some strong language and some descriptions of sex.
