The Silent Patient

 By Alex Michaelides

Adult Fiction

Reviewed by Alvina from the Altona Branch

    Alicia Berenson is a famous artist who is married to a fashion photographer.  They have a seemingly happy marriage until one night, Alicia shoots her husband multiple times and then doesn't speak again.  Theo Fabre, a psychotherapist, is fascinated by Alicia's story and transfers jobs to work with her and to try to get her to speak again. 

    I was hooked from the moment I opened this book.  I loved reading Alicia's journal and following Theo as he desperately tries to understand what happened that night.
