When Olivia meets a new lover, Francis, just as she is welcoming her dearest friend Lucy back from New York, her life expands precipitously. Her connection to Francis, a committed naturalist living off-grid, is immediate and startling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEager to involve Lucy in her joy, Olivia introduces the two -- but Lucy has news of her own that binds the trio unusually close. Over the months that follow, Lucy's boss Hunter, Olivia's psychoanalyst parents, and a young man named Sebastian are pulled into the friends' orbit, and not one of them will emerge unchanged. Expansive, playful and compassionate, Double Blind investigates themes of inheritance, determinism, freedom, consciousness, and the stories we tell about ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of all, it is a perfect expression of the interconnections it sets out to examine, and a moving evocation of an imagined world that is deeply intelligent, often tender, curious, and very much alive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39478042951833,"sku":"9781787300255","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781787300255.jpg?v=1615829847","url":"https:\/\/steyningbookshop.info\/products\/9781787300255","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
