A video book review of The Blind Contessa's New Machine by Carey Wallace. Purchase the book on Bookshop here, and on Amazon here.

"This tale reimagines the relationship that may have taken place between the inventor Pellegrino Turri, who created one of the first typewriters around 1808, and Carolina. Her blindness is like living a life in a waking dream. But with her new machine the Contessa can continue to communicate with the outside world." -- Michelle Z. from In the Stacks.tv
