SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018 LONGLISTED FOR
THE WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE 2019 'A stunning debut' Guardian In Jessie
Greengrass' superb debut novel, our unnamed narrator recounts her
progress to motherhood, while remembering the death of her own
mother ten years before, and the childhood summers she spent with
her psychoanalyst grandmother. Woven among these personal
recollections are significant events in medical history: Wilhelm
Roentgen's discovery of the X-ray; Sigmund Freud's development of
psychoanalysis and the work that he did with his daughter, Anna;
and the origins of modern surgery and the anatomy of pregnant
bodies. Sight is a novel about being a parent and a child: what it
is like to bring a person in to the world, and what it is to let
one go. Exquisitely written and fiercely intelligent, it is an
incisive exploration of how we see others, and how we might know
ourselves.
