520    "The remarkable first novel from the award-winning British
       writer, Jessie Greengrass  'It seemed, at times, an act of
       profound selfishness, to have a child so that I might 
       become a parent; but selfish, too, to have a child and 
       stay the same, or not to have one - unless the only honest
       choice would have been to try to become this kinder 
       version of myself without the need to bring another into 
       it.'  Set at the twin poles of life and death, 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.  With forays into the history of psychoanalysis and 
       the origins of modern surgery, our unnamed narrator shines
       a light on those hidden parts that lie at the heart of us,
       to reveal an examined life laid bare in all its desire and
       grief. Fiercely intelligent and exquisitely written, 
       Jessie Greengrass's remarkable debut is an incisive 
       exploration of how we see others, and how we might know 
       ourselves"--|cProvided by publisher.
