Contest - Star Gazing

This blog in partnership with the author, Linda Gillard, are giving away a signed copy of Star Gazing. To participate in this contest, the following questions on the form below must be answered correctly.

Star Gazing is actually Linda Gillard's third novel and it was voted "Favourite Romantic novel 1960-2010" by readers of Woman Weekly magazine. The novel was also shortlisted in 2009 for the Romantic Novel of the Year and the UK's first environmental book award, the Robin Jenkins Literary Award.

Synopsis:

Star Gazing is set in Edinburgh and one of its main characters is Marianne Fraser, who lives with her sister, Louisa. Marianne has been blind since birth and was widowed in her twenties. Now in her forties, Marianne meets a man named Keir, someone who seems to share her passion for music. One main aspect of this novel that makes it so unique is that it is told through the point of view of a woman who is blind. The language in this novel, with its similes and metaphors, is so rich that there is not much else to do but become immersed in its plot and characters. Keir takes Marianne to the Island of Skye to show her the island, specifically the stars in the winter night sky. Marianne's tour of Skye is an adventure that leaves this novel's readers breathless and wanting more.
