+1

At fifty, Alice Gregory discovers that she can't really see anymore. So she buys a pair of drugstore reading glasses, strength +1, and her suburban life looks magically more inviting. Can she, with the power of her mature vision, negotiate life more successfully than she did as a young woman? When tragedy devastates the Gregory family, Alice's husband, Richard, puts on her glasses, struggling to see their marriage and three sons through Alice's eyes. Shifting in perspective between Alice and Richard, Katherine Bucknell tells a beguiling, ultimately joyful, story. +1 is a sparkling, resonant exploration of what it means to love completely and of our limitless need to grow and change.
