I See Through You

Product Information

Victoria Condie has taught for the Oxford University Department for Continuing Education since 2000 on its award-bearing courses, public programmes and summer schools. As a medievalist by training, whose doctoral thesis looked at the way language is used in certain Old English prose sermons and verse, she is particularly aware of how writers craft language to their own persuasive ends. Currently, she is a Bye-fellow of Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge where she teaches English Literature and its Contexts 1300-1550 and Practical Criticism and Critical Practice for the Cambridge English Tripos. Her areas of research concentrate on the way writers use language, especially in prose. Her current work investigates the rhythms and cadences of Old English as it is used to achieve a specific effect; in this instance, an exploration of the deliberate contrast in prose effected by Kenneth Grahame in the non-narrative chapters of The Wind in the Willows. Claire Crowther Our first finisher (female) was Charlotte Towers in a time of 18:19(4th) then Jayne Price of Pensby Runners in a new pb of 19:45 (20th) and Alison Cole, a first timer with us who ran 20:46(39th)! I SEE THROUGH YOU is a psychological suspense about a woman who is ghosted and becomes obsessed with infiltrating her ex’s life. It’s also about unrequited love and not knowing where your place in the world is without someone to validate it. Where did the inspiration come from?

I completed the MA at Bath Spa with Distinction and last year was successful in my application to study for a PhD in Creative Writing at the same university. The PhD takes the form of two components, critical and creative. The creative aspect of my work is a novel called “The Hyacinth Garden” and the critical component explores the link between narrative unreliability, jealousy and impotence with particular emphasis on the first person observer as narrator.

Running, walking on the beach, going out on the water in boats. Bothering my children. Retweeting things I think are funny. Tell us one Christmas tradition you follow without fail. So although she behaves in a way that’s not really justifiable in a moral sense, it’s not so extraordinary given the context she finds herself in. She is trying to (re-) connect with people. I’d like her to make for uncomfortable reading because she’s someone that a lot of us, broken-hearted and ignored, might identify with at times in our lives. As she says in the book, “Liars are easily made,” whether we are just trying to conceal our innate loneliness or present a better, more palatable version of ourselves to the outside world and particularly those we want to love us.A beautiful and extraordinary debut novel. . . full of intelligence and utterly gripping' Claire Kendal, author of The Book of You We had a lot of lovely first timers this week,either running with us for the first time or visiting us for the first time.We look forward to seeing you again next week or the next time you're in the area.They were Charlotte Towers,Razvan Roman,Sorcha Shepherd,Collette Chapman,Iain Lancaster,Chris Towers,Jonathan Gill,Jon Mason,Orlaith Shepherd,Teresa Costigan,Sian Bonney,Ian Gould,Jessica Nangle,Jen Attwood,Anna Hinch,Rebecca Walters,Christopher Reeve,James Butcher,Julian Butcher,Tori Harrison,Jason Fordham, Martin Rogers,Diane Rogers,Stewart Robinson,Joanne Taylor,Jennie O'Connell,Kate O'Connell,Jamie Proudlove,Dave Gallagher,Libby Jones,Sian Thomas,Graham Partner During the MA at Bath Spa I completed a novel called “I See Through You”.
