Description
From T.J. Martinson, author of The Reign of the Kingfisher, comes a poignant odyssey of aging, stardom, and memory explored through the literal eyes of Marilyn Monroe.
Susan Jackson’s serene life as a sixty-eight-year-old florist living in Indiana shatters following a groundbreaking eye transplant that comes with an unexpected side-effect—visions of the life of Marilyn Monroe. Initially a harmless oddity, the invasive visions swiftly escalate as she starts morphing into the iconic actress. As Susan’s transformation becomes undeniable, a battle of wills ensues between the long-dead Hollywood icon and the woman whose body she’s seized.
Her New Eyes is an evocative literary novel, playing out against the bittersweet stage of eternal Americana-icon worship. With a dreamy atmosphere and unforgettable characters, Martinson crafts a story that will provoke introspection while entertaining.
Advance Praise
Praise for The Reign of the Kingfisher
“Fans of superhero tales will relish Martinson’s energetic debut… Martinson ratchets up the tension and keeps the suspense high to the end. Readers will eagerly await his next novel.” ―Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Debut novelist Martinson provides great storytelling… A linguistically nimble and narratively taut fiction that skews closer to Jeffrey Deaver or Don Winslow than tales of costumed capers.” ―Kirkus
