The Unseeing
by Anna Mazzola
A well-written debut novel, Mazzola does a wonderful job portraying the annoyingly sexist and often hypocritical views of the judicial and clerical system of London in the early 1900's. Everywhere you turn, there's someone explaining with an all-knowing tone the vices of the female sex. These glaring sexist remarks and prejudice are glaring examples of how far we've come and how far we have yet to go in our fight for gender equality. This novel not only is a gripping whodunit mystery, but also is a sharp example of the consequences of presupposition due to the gender of the person(s) in question.
