THE SIGHT by Melanie Golding & narrated by Ella Lynch, is a story of a girl with a gift, but with it comes fear.
Raised in the circus, Faith has the ability to see a person's death when she looks into their eyes with both of hers. This "gift" is feared by the family and when a stranger forces her to look at him and she sees herself stabbing him, she needs to find out more. Part suspense, part family drama/coming-of-age, Faith's story is a compelling story with a dash of magic.
I was quite taken with Faith and her story. It was a lovely mix of suspense and drama with the magical touch. What was really interesting was the idea of who would want to know the manner of their death and the imagined toll these visions might have on the seer. The side plot of family business, a sick member of that family and the tensions therein also felt real to me.
I loved listening to this in audio form. Lynch captures the various characters well, but embodies Faith so perfectly. I definitely recommend this story in audio!
