Constance Adler’s arresting debut novel traces the thin line between reality and the hazy terrain of assumption, desire, and remorse. In New Orleans, a city of bloom and rot, two lovers dig into the wreckage of their own worst instincts, with profound results. This is a book of visions, about how we anchor the body and trust the unspoken. Tenderly written, Sight Unseen is a hymn to the visceral world.

―Katy Simpson Smith, author of The Story of Land and Sea, Free Men, The Everlasting, and The Weeds.

Like the constant storms that threaten and assault this novel’s sharply rendered setting, New Orleans, Constance Adler’s seductively powerful Sight Unseen gathers intensity as the tumult of personal loss builds into a raging exploration of one woman’s history. With stunning detail and a quiet ferocity, Adler scours an emotional lineage rife with endurance, fury, magic, and, ultimately, reclamation.

―Adrianne Harun, author of The King of Limbo, Catch, Release, A Man Came Out of a Door in the Mountain, and On the Way to the End of the World.

Sight Unseen is spellbinding. A luminous map of pain, night vision, and healing, Constance Adler has reimagined the ghost story as a profound ode to the animal self, the bonds that sustain us, and the sacred scars of loss and a life fully, wildly lived. Mesmerizing.

―Margot Douaihy, author of Scorched Grace, Blessed Water, Bandit/Queen: The Runaway Story of Belle Starr, and Scranton Lace.
