Quercus is delighted to introduce Julia Kelly, the bright new voice
in fiction. She writes with intelligence, honesty and tremendous
wit, and her future as a leading light is as assured as this, her
first novel. With My Lazy Eye is the story of Lucy. Lucy's a
misfit. She's growing up in a large family in a semi-detached
house, dreaming of being someone else and making her father proud.
It's not looking promising. He's an internationally renowned
academic and her siblings are bright achievers, but Lucy is idle,
directionless and never quite manages to succeed. Her lazy eye sets
her apart from the crowd and gives her something to hide behind,
and in truth, she's not really trying to overcome it. She hasn't
got the energy to revise for exams, she can't convince herself to
care about coming last and even when she goes to London and finds
the perfect job, she is still destined to fail. And as far as men
are concerned, Lucy tumbles into bed with one after another, never
finding any she can find real affection for. As her sight
deteriorates and her view of reality becomes increasingly oblique,
Lucy comes to understand that if her life is going to improve,
she'll have to take matters into her own hands. But when a family
crisis looms, it might just be too late.
