A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas.

They told her that her body belonged to men and her mind didn’t matter. They were wrong. “What if I don’t want to marry?” Lillian held her breath.

Shahrzad
Author: Shahrzad Mirgholikhan
Publisher: Shahrzad Mirgholikhan
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 780
Book Description
Shahrzad Mirgholikhan was born in an Iran teetering on the brink of great change. In 1979 a popular uprising toppled the Shah of Iran. Jubilation followed, but it soon became clear that although Iran was changing for good, that change might not be the kind many wanted. Ayatollah Rouholla Khomeini managed to establish himself as the leader of the revolution and took the reins of power. His vision was an Islamic Republic and to achieve that, he brought in mandatory hijab and other stringent laws. In the fever and confusion of the revolution many hasty extrajudicial executions happened and activists, artists and even comedians left Iran in droves to avoid the same fate. Then came the war. Eight years of bloodshed, defending Iran’s soil against Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Shahrzad’s childhood was marred by the minggling wails of mourning mothers and sirens as she ran from classroom to bomb shelter. At the tender age of eighteen her parents managed to cajole their vivacious daughter into marriage, hoping matrimony tempers her strong-willed nature. However her husband and his family harbor a dark secret that inevitably rips them apart. Barely out of her twenties Shahrzad becomes a divorcee with two children. Young and full of dreams she marries again, but the man she falls for turns out to be a member of the regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps who tries to use her to smuggle night vision goggles into Iran. Shahrzad ends up in prison in the United States where she spends 5 years fighting for survival. Her fortitude and faith are tested to the limit, but her devotion to her twins Melika and Melina, her incredible sense of humor and ability to laugh in the face of adversity are what pull Shahrzad through in the end.

Now an original movie on Prime Video starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine! When Solène Marchand, the thirty-nine-year-old owner of a prestigious art gallery in Los Angeles, takes her daughter, Isabelle, to meet her favorite boy band, she does so reluctantly and at her ex-husband’s request. The last thing she expects is to make a connection with one of the members of the world-famous August Moon. But Hayes Campbell is clever, winning, confident, and posh, and the attraction is immediate. That he is all of twenty years old further complicates things. What begins as a series of clandestine trysts quickly evolves into a passionate relationship. It is a journey that spans continents as Solène and Hayes navigate each other’s disparate worlds: from stadium tours to international art fairs to secluded hideaways in Paris and Miami.
