Blind Mice

An idealistic young architect, John Winter, and his wife, Lucy, find their lives uprooted when Lucy's mother, Nannie, comes to town for an extended visit, having been thrown out of her cousin's home because of their disapproval of her relationship with the principal of the local academy. Lucy must try to protect herself, her friendships, and her marriage from her manipulative mother. The contrast of Lucy's and Nannie's lives plays into themes of class and determination. Blind Mice is C. Kay Scott's first novel. Perfect for readers who appreciate nuanced family dramas and complex character studies, this compelling novel explores the delicate balance between loyalty and self-preservation when toxic family dynamics threaten to destroy everything you hold dear. Scott masterfully weaves themes of class, manipulation, and resilience into a story that will resonate with anyone who has struggled to maintain their identity in the face of family pressure.
