Michelle McNally is “special” in more ways that one. She cannot see… nor hear nor speak… She inhabits a world of infinite black… of a seamless, endless void where nothing reaches her and she reaches nothing. Her world is frightening in its complete remoteness. On the sheer will of her ferocious rage against destiny, Michelle struggles to stay afloat in the impenetrable whirlpool her life has become. Into this devastating isolation enters a battle weary teacher, Debraj Sahai, life’s wounded but arrogantly insolent warrior. With a single minded obsession, Debraj takes up a challenge that is next to impossible – to lead this wild, uncontrollable child into the light of knowledge. Thus begins a journey of two headstrong individuals. They will overcome failures, obstacles, even ridicule as they tread the path less taken. What they seek is that moment or miracle when the ray of knowledge will penetrate through the dense black of Michelle’s life… Black is the cathartic tale of a deaf, mute and blind girl who saw what people with sight fail to see, a vision of her god. Michelle McNally saw what other lesser mortals could not. She saw her God, heard him and walked with him into the light…     |
