The Silent Patient

Description

The Silent Patient
Alicia Berenson appears to have a perfect life—she’s a successful painter, married to a fashion photographer, living in London. One night, she shoots her husband Gabriel five times in the face and then stops speaking entirely. Her refusal to explain transforms a domestic tragedy into a public mystery.

Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, becomes obsessed with Alicia’s case. He works at the Grove, the secure psychiatric unit where she is held, determined to unravel why she committed the act—and what drove her into silence. As Theo digs deeper, revealing journal entries, past trauma, and hidden truths, his own motives surface in ways that threaten to upend everything he believes.
