Description
From the publisher: "Magic Eyes is a true-life novel about magic, violence, and the powers of seeing. Told through the voices of Alicia Vásquez (not her real name) and family, it is a vivid memoir of love and revenge, survival and responsibility. Interweaving the story are remarkable photographs by Ewald and the children she taught in the Colombian village where she lived for two years. Through these compelling images we witness the passage of childhood as both unique and universal. Magic Eyes is tautly evocative -- a personal and social history of contemporary Colombia, infused with a reverence for the truth and power of storytelling."
