In the Seeing Hands of Others Summary

In the Seeing Hands of Others by Nat Ogle

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.

In the Seeing Hands of Others Reviews

An uncompromisingly modern novel about care and damage, so finely-textured in its documentary of trauma and recovery, so committed to the churn of felt experience, that it becomes, in the end, transcendent -- Frances Leviston, author of The Voice in My Ear
I loved this highly original and compelling story and found it thought-provoking and funny. Nat Ogle is a very talented novelist * Cathy Rentzenbrink *
Ogle writes about terror and the grace of human vulnerablity . . . with a complicated truth at its sticky centre * Guardian *
A damn good novelist ... Ogle's ability to create characters who hold the attention stands out * Sunday Telegraph *
