Opis

Who is really Sylvia Fischer? Psychoanalyst Alexander Williams will have to unveil the truths and the mysteries behind his patient's disappearance. All patients have problems, and Doctor Alexander Williams knows it: that's why they come back every week, they sit on a sofa in his psychoanalysis practice and they tell him their stories. But what is it about Sylvia Fischer that he has never been able to quite grasp? Maybe the way she never mentions her life before deciding to marry her husband: a boring, cheating, rich New York boy. Or the way she talks, with a deep voice and a British accent, even if she was born in Texas. Or maybe Dr. Williams can feel the pale halo of depression that surrounds her. One day, Sylvia Fischer tells Dr. Williams a new story: there's a man she's been in love with for many years, who now wants her to run away with him. And away she goes. Sylvia Fischer doesn't simply leave, though, she disappears: no words are left for her husband, her two-year-old daughter, her parents. No one knows anything about that man from Sylvia's past, but Alexander Williams wants to believe that she has found her happiness. Until everything collapses. New York is the host and the beating heart of this novel: the city will guide the reader through its streets, rivers and parks, inhabited by living souls and roaming ghosts of the past.
