Alicia Berenson sembra avere una vita perfetta: è un’artista di successo, ha sposato un noto fotografo di moda e abita in uno dei quartieri più esclusivi di Londra. Poi, una sera, quando suo marito Gabriel torna a casa dal lavoro, Alicia gli spara cinque volte in faccia freddandolo. Da quel momento, detenuta in un ospedale psichiatrico, Alicia si chiude in un mutismo impenetrabile, rifiutandosi di fornire qualsiasi spiegazione. Oltre ai tabloid e ai telegiornali, a interessarsi alla «paziente silenziosa» è anche Theo Faber, psicologo criminale sicuro di poterla aiutare a svelare il mistero di quella notte. E mentre a poco a poco la donna ricomincia a parlare, il disegno che affiora trascina il medico in un gioco subdolo e manipolatorio.

And once he's discovered the truth of his origins, can he find forgiveness and accept Ana's unconditional love? Can Christian finally be freed?

Como miembro de los Satmar, una comunidad de judíos ultraortodoxos en Williamsburg (Brooklyn, Nueva York), Deborah Feldman crece bajo un estricto código de costumbres que rige desde su idioma -el yidis- o su indumentaria hasta sus lecturas y las personas con las que le es permitido relacionarse. Siendo adolescente, intuye que puede existir una forma de vida alternativa entre los rascacielos de Manhattan, y se debate entre la responsabilidad de ser una buena judía jasídica y sus anhelos de independencia, como los que anidan en las protagonistas de las novelas de Jane Austen o Louisa May Alcott que lee a escondidas de su familia. Pero pronto se ve atrapada en un matrimonio concertado que resulta frustrante, sexual y emocionalmente. Todo cambia cuando, a los diecinueve años, da a luz a su hijo y comprende que, a pesar de todos los obstáculos, ha de encontrar para ambos un camino hacia la libertad.
