Alicia Berenson's life appears to be perfect. A famous painter herself, with her husband being a sought-after fashion photographer, they live in a large house overlooking the park in one of the most beautiful areas of London.
One evening, when her husband returns late from a photoshoot, Alicia shoots him five times in the head and falls into silence. Her refusal to speak or provide any explanation will turn a family tragedy into something much larger, into a mystery that monopolizes the public's imagination and makes Alicia infamous.
The prices of her works skyrocket, and she, the "silent patient," is taken away from the public eye to Grove, a high-security psychiatric facility in North London. Theo Faber is a forensic psychotherapist who has long awaited the opportunity to work with Alicia. He is convinced that he will succeed where others have failed.
His determination to make her speak and unravel the mystery of her husband's murder leads him down a treacherous path that digs into the deeper causes of her silence... And if she speaks to him, will she want him to hear the truth?
I love him so completely and utterly that sometimes this love threatens to overwhelm me. I often think... No. I won’t write about that. From Alicia's diary.
