July 17, 2020 - Book Club Meeting 6:00 PM - Via Zoom
Due to the current increase in the number of cases of Covid-19 in the County of Riverside, and the Governor's recent curtailment of businesses from re-opening, and the strong recommendation to continue to stay "sheltered in place", the Club has decided to hold the Book Club on Friday, July 17 via a Zoom meeting at 6:00 PM. Teri will be setting this zoom meeting up.
Our book selection, again, is "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides. It is a gripping book and you will not be able to put it down.
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.
Thanks,
Teri
