Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Australian Novelist 2022
SHORTLISTED for the INDIE AWARD for BEST FICTION SHORTLISTED for
the ABIA for Literary Fiction LONGLISTED for the BookPeople Book of
the Year for Fiction ‘This! Was! So! Good! ... Diana Reid
you are in a total league of your own.’ - Zara McDonald,
Shameless Podcast ‘Seeing Other People will be the book of the
summer.’ - PedestrianTV ‘An extraordinary new voice in Aussie
lit.’ ― Zoë Foster Blake ‘a captivating read that
feels made for racing through while lying on the beach.’
― Vogue Australia Charlie’s skin was stinging. Not with
heat or sweat, but with that intense, body-defining
self-consciousness—that sense of being watched. She lowered her
eyes from Eleanor’s loving gaze. Her throat taut with
tears, she swallowed. ‘You’re a good sister, Eleanor.’
‘Don’t say that.’ After two years of lockdowns, there’s
change in the air. Eleanor has just broken up with her boyfriend,
Charlie’s career as an actress is starting up again. They’re
finally ready to pursue their dreams—relationships, career,
family—if only they can work out what it is they really want.
When principles and desires clash, Eleanor and Charlie are forced
to ask: where is the line between self-love and
selfishness? In all their confusion, mistakes will be made
and lies will be told as they reckon with the limits of their own
self-awareness. Seeing Other People is the darkly funny story
of two very different sisters, and the summer that stretches their
relationship almost to breaking point. PRAISE FOR SEEING
OTHER PEOPLE: ‘a great summer read.’ - The Guardian ‘The
prose sparkles on the page, as effervescent and drinkable as a
glass of prosecco on a warm summer's evening.’ - The Australian
‘We absolutely adored this hotly-anticipated novel’ - The
Shameless Bookclub ‘If you tore through Love &
Virtue last year, you'll want to add Diana Reid's second
novel to the top of your reading bucket list.’ - Marie
Claire ‘I enjoyed this funny, charming and enormously readable
novel a great deal, in large part due to the wit and authenticity
with which Reid represents her characters and their world.’ - The
West Australian ‘Reid hasn’t lost her skewering wit.’ -
Sydney Morning Herald 'a compulsive read’ - Primer 'funny and
engaging’ - ArtsHub ‘Reid's witty and insightful social
observation is something to relish’ - ABC Radio National, The
Bookshelf ‘There is a genuine warmth as well as capacious
intelligence and sly humour to Reid’s writing, and a dynamic
energy to the novel that’s always compelling’ - The Guardian
