He wondered at first if some goo or gunk had worked its way into his right eye. But this was no fleeting annoyance, no fixable inconvenience. Overnight, a rare stroke had cut off blood to one of his optic nerves, rendering him functionally blind in that eye—forever. And he soon learned from doctors that the same disorder could ravage his left eye, too. He could lose his sight altogether.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this “moving and inspiring” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) memoir, Bruni beautifully recounts his adjustment to this daunting reality, a medical and spiritual odyssey that involved not only reappraising his own priorities but also reaching out to, and gathering wisdom from, longtime friends and new acquaintances who had navigated their own traumas and afflictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is a poignant, probing, and ultimately “a positive message, a powerful reminder that with great vulnerability also comes great reward” (Oprah Winfrey). Bruni’s world blurred in one sense, as he experienced his first real inklings that the day isn’t forever and that light inexorably fades, but sharpened in another. Confronting unexpected hardship, he felt more blessed than ever before. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Beauty of Dusk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is “a wonderful book.
