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
##3星半吧。故事還可以，有psychological thriller共通的優勢（情節抓人，讀起來放不下）和缺點（後勁小/值得迴味的地方少，甚至越迴味越不對勁），人物就差一些。如果讀一本書隻是為瞭那一個twist，無論讀的時候猜不猜得到，我好像都不太喜歡。
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
