Alicia Berenson shoots her husband in the face, then refuses to talk.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who wants to work with Alicia. When a job opportunity comes up in the facility where Alicia is held, he takes the job. The desire to help Alicia speak becomes all consuming.
Absolutely incredible book, stuffed full of symbolism. It's tensely written, and no-one is reliable....except, perhaps, Indira. It absolutely blew my mind.
I highly recommend going in blind. Don't look at reviews, don't try to figure out what's going on: just pick up the book and read (Or listen. The narrators are absolutely excellent).
Also, Alex Michaelides is from Cyprus, so that was fabulous to read. I love that place, and spent several happy years living there.
