Inside, an impossibly old woman lies on her deathbed while family and caretakers drift in and out. All the women who have ever lived and died in that house are waiting for her to join them. They are preparing to throw her a party. As day turns to night, four hundred years' worth of memories unspool, and the house reverberates with the women's stories. Stories of mysterious visions, of those born without eyelashes and tongues or with deformed hearts. But it begins with the story of the matriarch Joana who double-crosses the devil, heedless of what the consequences might be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs1EFB4FB\"\u003eI Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eis a formally daring and entrancing novel in which Irene Sol explores the duality and essential link between light and darkness, life and death, oblivion and memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A heady, exhilarating, compact tale that seems as old as the Catalan mountains and as fresh as a newly plucked chicken...
