Description

We'll be reading and discussing The Silent Patient, by Alex Michaelides. Copies of the book are available at the SDCL for a 7-day checkout and only available to club members until after the December meeting. "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...." The SDCL Turn the Page Club is a group for adult readers. That's about it:) We love to get together and discuss great books. What kind of books do we read? You name it, we read it - anything from Historic Fiction to Thrillers to Teen Dystopian novels. It's a great way to break a reading rut and explore new genres. By getting together like this, we foster a love of reading and expand on reading comprehension. This is intended to be a safe space and negative comments and actions will not be tolerated. Come join the fun!
