Book review
Sights Unseen
by Kaye Gibbons
A Review by Karen Head-Evans
In the past few years Southern
Fiction has exploded into the
mainstream. Recognition for
Southern writers has risen to new
heights and readers, especially
Southern readers, are the benefi
ciaries of some of the best fiction
anywhere. Contemporary Southern
Fiction has a unique and timeless
perspective. One of the most
promising new Southern writers is
Kaye Gibbons. Ms. Gibbons is a
shining light and her novels are
exceptional. Like the characters
she so carefully and precisely cre
ates her style is compassionate and
spirited. She offers an especially
unique and fresh portrayal of
women in the South.
Her most recent novel, Sights
Unseen is a haunting story, dealing
with the difficult problem of manic
depression. Retrospectively told
from the point of view of Hattie,
the daughter of a manic depres
sive, this story focuses on one fam
ily’s struggle for normality. Hattie
longs for a mother who will read
bedtime stories and bake cookies,
but her reality is austere. Young,
confused, and excluded Hattie
makes painful attempts to under
stand and accept her mother’s ill
ness. While her family tries to pro
tect her, Hattie finds herself the
objective center of the situation.
While the rest of her family seems
immersed in her mother’s illness,
Hattie watches and absorbs. It is as
if she is a ghost of sorts, ever-pre
sent but uninvolved. Hattie tries
desperately to belong. Her nurse
and her brother are her only viable
connections to the family.
However, it is a relationship with
her mother for which Hattie longs.
Hattie’s mother is incapable of
such a relationship and as a result
Hattie finds that passing her moth
er in the hall is like passing a
stranger on the street.
Amazingly, this is a story about
depression without being depress
ing. This novel is a must read for

Pet ready to be adopted
My name is “Sally.” I am a
spayed female fawn colored lab
mix. Since my owner died, I need
a good home. I’m very people
orientated and real good with chil
dren and other bigger dogs, but
I’m not so good with cats. I’m
smart, obedient and am current on
all shots, wormed and on heart

is SSO. Call Tricia at 781-8358.

mothers and daughters. In the
same way many mothers and
daughters flocked to the theater
together to see Steel Magnolias,
they should read this book tegeth
er. Undoubtedly, Kaye Gibbons
intended to illuminate the ups and
downs of all mother-daughter rela
tionships. It is a special bond that
even the most extreme circum
stances can not break.
In Sights Unseen, Ms. Gibbons
gracefully confronts a subject that
would be difficult for most writers.
It is perhaps most remarkable that
Ms. Gibbons is able to write about
this subject despite her own per
sonal struggle with severe depres
sion. This is Ms. Gibbons’ fifth
novel. All her novels place women
as the central characters, and these
women are clearly Southern. What
is wonderful about her characters
is they are extraordinary in an ordi
nary way. They are not tragic hero
ines. They are real women with
real problems and real triumphs.
They strike an unusual balance
between wisdom and imprudence,
strength and frailty. Ms. Gibbons’
characters are like women we
know; they are not Scarlett
O’Hara. Ms. Gibbons’ portrayal of
Southern women deserves praise
and recognition.
Other books by Kaye Gibbons
includes Ellen Foster, A Virtuous
Woman, A Cure for Dreams, and
Charms for the Easy Life. Ellen
Foster has recently been adapted
into a play that will run at Atlanta’s
Horizon Theater later this year.
