I was so excited to read this book for a long time. One month ago I bought this book. I would say one thing that is definitely not what I expected. This is so much more than just a psychological thriller. This is a page-turner, very developed and smartly written book. I can't get this out of my head for two days. Alicia was a painter and her husband Gabriel was a Fashion photographer . To the outside world they were so much in love with each other but one day without any explanation Alicia shot her husband. After that, all the questions she gets, but she didn’t answer any of them .Nor did she speak when she was sentenced with Gabriels murder. She was silent . Like she forgot to speak. But she paint a portrait and the portrait name was Alcestis.
If Grief can be called easy
It was a greek myth.Alcestis is a myth of self secrifice. I absolutely loved how the writer made revolving this story around this myth. The story is telling by Theo Faber the psychotherapist at the Grove and Alicia through Alicia's Journal.Nothing is at it seems in this novel. This is story of complexity and mystery. You have to find out the truth. Throughout the whole book, you would be questioning why she did that, when they are so in love.Why was she so afraid and why didn’t she silent now after murdering her husband.
There so much pain everywhere and we just close our eyes to it. The truth is we're all scared. We're terrified with each other. I am terrified of myself and of my mother in me
But love can't be always be easy, you saying you love her but show her different thing.
The Last five chapter when it get to the main point, you would be shocked, knew instantly why she did it or if she even did it. I never once felt like I had a grasp on how this story will end. You would doubt yourselves over and over in this story. Main character Theo and alicia truly unforgettable characters. I'm not going to tell all the details. If you love a thriller book I definitely recommend to you to read it. One of the best book I read this year. I devoured it in one sitting. This is a book showing dark psychological thriller, infidelities, murder and revenge.If you love thriller you definitely read this book.
