SIGHT - JESSIE GREENGRASS KARTONIERT (TB)

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018LONGLISTED FOR THE WELLCOME BOOK PRIZE 2019'A
stunning debut' GuardianIn 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 Röntgen'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.
