具體描述
Alex Michaelides was born in Cyprus to a Greek-Cypriot father and English mother. He has a MA in English Literature from Cambridge University and a MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. The Silent Patient is his first novel.
Promising to be the debut novel of the season The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive…
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....
用戶評價
近幾年看過敘述最棒的故事之一 讀完很想找人講話 又感覺像題目裏的女主角一樣啞口無言 跟“gone girl”大賣之後成堆齣現的俗套“心理懸疑/人格分裂”類妖艷賤貨很不一樣 this debut novel is fresh, bone-chilling, meticulous, and disturbingly good. 每一章都很短 你會一直跟自己說just one more chapter然後完全放不下來 到後半部分你覺得在震驚裏經曆瞭“ah ha”moment之後 結尾還有更強大的反轉等著你 整個敘事和句式風格明明都很easy 但讀完讓你感覺deeply uneasy 推薦給想讀個好故事、但不介意情感上有幾天包袱的人
評分 評分##page turner.. but does NOT make sense - Theo knew fully well why she didn't talk from the beginning, 之後的上下求索是閑的？以及結局，完全不make sense. 無緣無故地去殺人，再一次，閑的？鋪墊4/5本書還以為是什麼瞭不起的驚天秘密
