Sights Unseen is an unforgettable tale of unconditional love - and of a Southern family's desperate search for normality in the midst of madness. It is the story of Maggie - 'the woman with all the problems' - and Hattie, a child struggling to find a place for herself in her damaged mother's heart. Sights Unseen is Kaye Gibbons at her most passionate and heartfelt best, painting an intimate family portrait with poignancy, power and wit, in the rich, vibrant colours of the American South.
