Alicia Berenson is such a mysterious, intriguing character and she remains somewhat of an enigma throughout the entire novel. She is a famous, talented painter and happily married to her husband, Gabriel. They live in London and have a great life.
She has been charged with murdering her husband, Graham, who is a fashion photographer, after he returns home late one evening. After shooting Graham, Alicia has never spoken again. She is a patient at a place called The Grove.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who accepted a job at the Grove in the hopes of working with Alicia. He is obsessed with learning her motive. He knows he can get her to talk.
Although Alicia does not speak, the reader gets a glimpse into her life through Theo's discussions with those in her life. Most of the novel is told from his POV and you get a glimpse into his thoughts and what he is thinking. I just need to find out why Alicia wasn't talking. All I can say is I was shocked to say the least!
