In the Seeing Hands of Others
In the Seeing Hands of Others | Nat Ogle
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A ground-breaking debut novel that combines the investigatory pleasures of a legal drama with a provocative and literary exploration of the limits of empathy 'I loved this highly original and compelling story' Cathy Rentzenbrink You are about to enter a novel formed of documents and evidence. Here is the blog of a nurse on a dialysis ward attempting to live in the aftermath of bringing a rape trial to court in which the defendant was exonerated. Here are the transcripts of the police interviews with her, and the accused, the emails and texts between them submitted for trial; his journal, his conversations on 4chan, his drama scripts, him, him, him. How will the nurse, Corina, ever get him out of her head? This is a highly original debut novel that will win plaudits for its inventiveness at the same time as it compels the reader with the pleasures of suspense and family drama. Provocative, blackly funny and moving, it announces a new voice unlike any other.

Very hard to review- I can‘t say I enjoyed it as the subject matter is dark and sometimes it‘s very difficult to follow. But it‘s a debut and I would certainly read the next one by this author.

Cathythoughts It sounds complicated, I‘ll try a sample 👍🏻 8mo
batsy Sounds like a tough read but very intriguing. 8mo
