About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Kaye Gibbons is the author of four previous novels: Ellen Foster, A Virtuous Woman, A Cure for Dreams, and Charms for the Easy Life. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband and five children.
Regional fiction is a special challenge for the audiobook performer. Especially in the literature of the American South, accents vary from state to state, class to class, race to race. Kate Fleming does a beautiful job with the many voices of this sad and funny story of Hattie, whose mother is known to her Carolina community as "that Barnes woman with all the problems," problems that today would be called being bi-polar or manic depressive. Hattie's father is nearly overwhelmed by loving a wife who is beautiful but often outrageous, and even a danger to others and herself. The household is held together by loving and lovely black Pearl; the story is held together by Kaye Gibbons's wry and sensitive writing and by Fleming's skillful performance.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Sight Unseen is a memoir of a troubled, manic-depressive mother told by a confused but affectionate daughter, becomes what Publishers Weekly has called "a haunting story that begs to be read in one sitting." Gibbons is able to write with the clarity and vision of a child. In Hattie Barnes, a child who grows up by coming to terms with two worlds--the private one inside her house, where her mother is unpredictable, elusive, adoring,and adored, and the public one of her small North Carolina town, in which her mother is politely known as "the Barnes woman with all the problems"--Gibbons has created her most affecting and memorable character.
