Novel by a New Zealander. First ed. published Christchurch, N.Z. : Pegasus, 1963.

"Scented gardens for the blind ostensibly follows the members of the fractured Glace family, suffering from different forms of sensory deprivation - the daughter mute, the mother blind, the father estranged - yet each living in a vivid world of their own making. While the father looks to the past in his obsessions with genealogy and toy soldiers, the modern age hangs over them with the hint of nuclear apocalypse. But all is not what it seems."--Back cover.
