    "description": "<h4>Revisiting the wild passions of youth</h4><p>There  is something special about meeting an old acquaintance by chance. A reunion with someone you were close to a long time ago always seems a bit miraculous. But for the blind especially this is a very unlikely occurrence, as you might as well pass one another by without even knowing it.</p><p>So in 1984, at the age of sixty-one, Daisy Hayes was quite thrilled to encounter her old classmate Janet, blind like her, in her doctor\u2019s waiting room. Then a disturbing fact became clear: Janet did not have such fond memories of our blind sleuth when she was a schoolgirl. She even asked, \u201cRemember the night Vicky died? I\u2019ve always wanted to know: did you <em>push</em> her down the stairs?\u201d</p><p>Suddenly Daisy found herself accused of murder; she was appalled, and asked herself, \u201cDo all my old schoolmates think I pushed Vicky? How can I  prove my innocence forty years after the facts?\u201d To achieve just that, she was forced to go rooting in a distant past, with shocking results.</p>",
