What Milo Saw

Author: Virginia MacGregor

Billed as a book for fans of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, Virginia McGregor’s debut novel is a carefully constructed comment on how appearances can be deceiving.

It’s told, in turns, from the perspective of nine-year-old Milo, who has Retinitis Pigmentosa — he’s going blind and can only see through a pinhole — his 92-year-old mute gran Lou, and Tripi, a Syrian refugee.
