Overview

The Debut Novel from Ollie Llewellyn Sarah Mitchell has spent twenty years being everything to everyone - wife, mother, caretaker, and quiet architect of a family that barely notices her. At forty-three, she feels like a ghost in her own life: present but invisible, needed but not truly known. So when she books a solo writing retreat to a small village in Normandy, it feels like the bravest - and most selfish - thing she has ever done. She arrives with a half-formed idea for a light romantic novella. What she finds instead changes everything. At a sun-warmed café table overlooking cobbled streets, she meets Jack - a quiet, unhurried man who notices things. Who listens when she talks. Who looks at her not as a function or a role, but as a person worth seeing. For the first time in years, Sarah feels visible. As the days unfold, she writes with a freedom she thought she'd lost, falls deeper into a friendship she can't quite explain, and begins to understand the difference between being loved and being seen - between being useful and being known. But Jack carries a mystery, and the longer Sarah stays, the more she realises that some questions, once asked, cannot be unasked. Seen is a tender, deeply moving novel about the invisible labour of women, the hunger to be truly known, and one woman's journey back to herself in the most unexpected of ways. For readers of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and The Time Traveler's Wife - a story about love, loss, and the courage it takes to finally stop disappearing.
