Iona | 53 comments I read this book in around 2016 but it was a lot older- published somewhere between the 70s and 90s I think. I remember there was a blind child perhaps named Emily. I think her optic nerve had been burned mysteriously, perhaps in relation to some kind of scientific experiment. There was also a cathedral instrumental to the plot, a canon and scenes taking place in the crypt or tunnels under the cathedral. I might be getting two books mixed up but I'm fairly sure there was something about a unicorn.
