At eighty-two, Iris Chase Griffen opens her memory to unveil the fierce loyalties and betrayals that shaped her clan after the war’s end. When her sister Laura drove a car off a bridge, it triggered a cascade of concealed truths long buried in the Chase family.

The Blind Assassin weaves a novel-within-a-novel: a pulp fantasy penned by Laura that pulses with erotic intrigue, desperate love, and hidden loyalties. As Laura’s story of unnamed lovers winds through rented rooms and smoky cafés, the real-life drama of jealousy, sacrifice, and ambition plays out with equal intensity.

Combining gothic drama, romantic suspense, and speculative elements, this Booker Prize–winning work offers a richly layered reading experience. Its shifting timelines and complex characters reveal the price of secrets and the resilience of those who guard them.
