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....
##紅棕色的長發,優美勻稱的麵龐,湛藍的眼睛像夏天的天空,那樣清澈明亮。她坐在我對麵的椅子上,頭微微偏嚮窗戶,靜靜地看著雪花在窗外飛舞。 “你好,艾麗西亞。” 我說這句話的時候,把艾麗西亞嚇瞭一跳。 “你能看見我嗎?”她盯著我,目光似乎要把我穿透,“你是人是鬼?”...
評分 評分##BOTM拿到的先發版,一個周末就讀完瞭。psychological thriller讀得不多,這本給我瞭一種第一次讀and then there were none的感覺。有些地方還是會很強烈的感受到是作者寫的第一本小說,但是整體真的是很贊
評分 評分##Brilliant!巧妙地利用瞭章節間的銜接和切換,混淆瞭不同故事綫之間的時間綫,成功保持懸疑和神秘到最後。看到後麵大呼“中計啦”的就是我。被糊弄瞭呢,卻又很開心,哈哈哈哈,怕就怕糊弄不到讀者的懸疑作品。用有句港劇常用颱詞總結就是——神又係你,鬼又係你!“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive,and will come forth later,in uglier ways.”所以情緒一定要得到有效的發泄,屈埋屈埋就會屈齣病來。喜歡小說裏用的Alcestis這個冷門的希臘神話,不過拋開小說單從神話本身來說,我跟作者理解得有點不一樣,我理解Alcestis的沉默偏嚮於哀莫大於心死,而不是murderous rage。 @2020-01-31 22:15:28 @2021-12-22 11:06:45
