Theo, who spent two decades in therapy exploring trauma induced by a cruel father, is hopelessly compelled toward Alicia, who suffered a similar upbringing and is desperate to make her start talking about her crime. After the murder, she stops speaking entirely and is placed in the Grove, a secure psychiatric unit where Theo applies for a job six years later - expressly to meet, and treat, the still-silent Alicia.
London-based psychotherapist Theo Farber becomes obsessed with Alicia Berenson, a rising-star painter who’s convicted of murdering her fashion-photographer husband Gabriel.

They are buried alive, and will come forth later, in uglier ways.Here’s a recap, for those who have read the novel in full - and for anyone else who is a glutton for spoilers. Cause it’s there in spades, if you care to see it. I will watch it FOR SURE just to see if they manage to capture the artistic og mystic side of this. I rarely find movies good after swallowing the book whole, but the author revealed that the book was first written as a script and then adapted for book. Looking forward to seeing them adapt this to screen.

I found out later that the book will be made into a movie by Plan B (Brad Pitt’s compay) and Annapurna. I WISH I could just say all the things I’m feeling and all my thoughts but I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll leave it at that. It just felt like so much more than just a thriller. We need to ask ourselves, is this someone who will be honest with me, listen to criticism, admit making mistakes, and not promise the impossible?” Alex Michaelides, The Silent PatientĪll of this makes the book good, but what makes the book AMAZING is the reasoning and the depth the author throws us into with the greek mythology, art, psychology and betrayal. “Choosing a lover is a lot like choosing a therapist. (But I will admit that it irritated me the way the author drew out the reveal. Sleep came late that night and I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough. Then I suddenly got to a point of no return where I couldn’t stop. I was comfortable reading a few chapters before bed until about half way. And I also pick up the stray crime now and then, but let’s just say it’s been a while.Ĭompared to what I’ve been used to, especially the likes of Coben, I found the silent patient slow and steady like volvo on the freeway where Coben runs a porsche off track.
I spent the better part of the 2000’s reading Grisham’s whole catalogue, before I moved on to Michael Connelly, then to Harlan Coben, and so on. Love is deep and calm – and constant.” Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patientĭon’t get me wrong, I’ve read plenty of crime before. It’s boring, if seen from the perspective of high drama. “…we often mistake love for fireworks – for drama and dysfunction. Out of all the crime books I looked at, I cannot tell you why I chose that one, I just did. I don’t usually read the crime genre, but I love doing things out of character so I picked up the silent patient.
But a new therapist has been hired at the Grove and he might be able to break her silence. (Or is she the REAL killer?) She simply stopped talking after the fact. The silent patient isn’t a whodunnit because we already know Alicia killed her husband.
