3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Ellen Foster,Kaye Gibbons paints intimate family portraits in lyrical prose, using as her palette the rich, vibrant colors of the American South. Sights Unseen shows the author at her most passionate and heartfelt best -- an unforgettable tale of unconditional love, and of a family's desperate search for normalcy in the midst of mental illness. It is a novel of rare poignancy, wit, and evocative power -- the story of the relationship between Hattie Barnes and her emotionally elusive mother, Maggie, known by their neighbors as "that Barnes woman with all the problems." This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Pickpick

I think this is a very accurate description of Bipolar Disorder and I‘m giving it a “pick” for that reason. I know it was not meant to be a long drawn out book but I would have liked it more if there had been more too the novel.

I've been reading this novel, structured like a memoir, from a daughter about herself and her mother.

Funny at times and frankly depressing at others, it began as research for my novel, but I find I like it for itself now. The characters are real, and I'm caught up in the story.

This is my first novel-as-memoir, and it is fascinating.
