Molly Sweeney tells the story of an independent, affable blind woman living a simple life in Northern Ireland.  Her life takes a huge change in direction when she meets her husband who has a passion for self improvement and wonders if his wife’s sight can be restored. At his prompting, they seek out the advice of a surgeon who claims that although the success may be slim an operation is worth the risk. After all, what does she have to lose.
