What Is Visible

Based on the true story of Laura Bridgman, the first deaf and blind person to learn language, this literary novel offers a richly detailed and moving portrayal of her extraordinary life at the intersection of social, philosophical, and educational change in Victorian America. Narrated by Laura herself, the story explores her remarkable journey, her relationships with notable figures of the time, and her impact on history, which has often been overlooked. With lyrical prose and a vivid cast of characters, the book illuminates the challenges and triumphs of living in a completely unique inner world.
