September Book Club Pick: The Silent Patient
Every other month we will announce a new book and send a copy to those team members who sign up. Book genres will vary to offer an array of titles for all areas of interest. Participants have a few weeks to read the book before the meeting. During the meeting, we will discuss overall thoughts of the book, themes, character development and more.
Participation is completely optional, and you can alternate which months you participate based on interest in the book pick. Those who sign up will receive a calendar invite for the book club meeting. The book club is open to all employees across the organization, and we encourage anyone who is interested to sign up!
September Book Club Pick:
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
“An unforgettable―and Hollywood-bound―new thriller… A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy.”
―Entertainment Weekly
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….
