SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMENS PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018A dazzling obsessive entry in a burgeoning genre. Unusual and absorbing... the novel as a whole exudes a strange consoling power. The New YorkerSight delves into a lot in under 200 pages: mothers and daughters, birth and death, loss and grief, finding ones balance, the ardor and arduousness of scientific discovery. Readers willing to give themselves over to Greengrass penetrating vision will surely expand theirs. NPRWith visceral, elegantly wrought truths of life and loss, this is an exciting companion to Sheila Hetis recent Motherhood (2018). BooklistIn Jessie Greengrass dazzlingly brilliant 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 Rontgens discovery of the Xray; Sigmund Freuds 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.
