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....

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed but generally deep feelings about Donna Tartt's novel. While some rave about it being one of their all-time favorites and praise its Pulitzer Prize-worthy writing, others find the tone too depressing and heavy despite the exquisite prose. The book's detailed and vivid storytelling is often highlighted, although its length and persistent gloominess can be intimidating and off-putting to some. Even those who struggle with its complexity admit that the story and its themes are unforgettable. Overall, it's a polarizing read that's celebrated for its literary merit but critiqued for its unrelenting despair and verbosity.
