The story is set in Milan, which is named after the Second International Congress on the Education of the Deaf held in Milan in 1880 that concluded that speech rather than signing was the best approach to deaf education. The story is told from the point-of-view of someone hired by a university to help hard-of-hearing students cope. Signing is not permitted, and many teachers deliberately make it hard for hard-of-hearing students to succeed. See also 2013 Young.

The following is from the author\’s abstract. The novel \“focuses on a wide range of deaf people involved in intra-deafcentric conflicts; deaf sub-groups include a range of communication preferences (speaking, cued speech, signing) as well as multiple physical differences (deaf blind, cerebral palsy, wheelchair users) though not ethnic diversity. A critical introduction to the novel explains that science fiction allows the creation of a world that does not exist as a real physical place and allows exploration of intra group issues that a mainstream context of oppression of all deaf people obscures. The introduction also relates a discussion of the countries on Eyeth to colonialism and post-colonialism theory to provide a framework to the reader for the subsequent analysis of how Eyeth uses but also subverts colonialist thinking through characters\&$\#$39; actions. The novel itself is about a young man, Virgil G, training under the tutelage of the current Guardian of Eyeth, Shawn Wright, who ensures Eyeth doesn\&$\#$39;t stray from its original goals of being a deaf world.\”
