Absolutely amazing in the best sense. Two of the chapters are among the most mind-blowing I've read, ever.

In one, the author describes kids who have been at a Tibetan school for the blind for quite some time zooming around through Llasa better than the sighted visitor. In the other, the author describes in detail how helpless and despairing (not to mention in physical danger) she became in the pitch black when the electricity went out in her hut in rural India, while the blind kids coped just fine, of course.

She brings you vividly into the world of the blind, to the point that you can't help but admire rather than pity those portrayed in the book.
