Title: Moving story
Review: Sights Unseen is a moving story about a young girl who has a mother who is mentally ill, and by all accounts, unable to have a real relationship with her daughter. The yearning for the closeness young Hattie wanted with her mother, Maggie, is only too heartbreaking. This book not only shows how hard it is for Hattie to deal with her mother's emotional dips, but for her brother, Freddy, as well as her father. Pearl, the loving housekeeper, sometimes seemed to be the life preserver that kept the family afloat. She's a likable character, and it's too bad you don't know more about her. The only complaint I have about the book, or Kaye Gibbons as an author in particular, is the fact that there is not more dialoge in the book. The story is there, but there should be more interaction and depth between the characters.
