Residents in the town of Harmony, a colony of purposely blind citizens, are disrupted when the Head Councilor’s free spirited daughter mysteriously dies. Around the same time one of her close friends, Jacob, starts experiencing dizzying headaches and flashes of light. He comes to the realization that somehow the unthinkable has happened- he has gained sight. He fights an inner battle, knowing his society was formed on the notion that sight distracts people from leading true and virtuous lives and enjoying his new found sight.

Sounds like an interesting book. On a similar note- you should read Blindness by Jose Saramago. It's one of my all time favorites. It's the story of a community that experiences a blindness epidemic.
