Sight

In Jessie Greengrass' debut novel, Sight, an unnamed narrator reflects on her journey to motherhood while grappling with the memory of her mother's death a decade earlier and her childhood summers spent with her psychoanalyst grandmother. The narrative intertwines personal experiences with pivotal moments in medical history, including the discoveries of X-rays and the development of psychoanalysis, exploring themes of parenthood, loss, and identity. Exquisitely crafted and thought-provoking, the novel offers a deep examination of the connections between generations and the profound impact of both bringing life into the world and letting go.
