I heard about this novel since I was a kid and did not know exactly what it was. Then I read the story and it sounded interesting. This summer I decided that I wanted to read it and I can assure you is the best thing that has fallen into my hands these summer months. The main character is Alice Gould, a brilliant and highly intelligent detective voluntarily entering a psychiatric hospital to investigate the murder of the father of a client. His idea is that the perpetrator is among the residents and the best way to catch is getting into their world. But is this really so? Alice Gould Is a sane person making an investigation or is mentally ill, a paranoid who believes a story that exists only in your head? Throughout the novel, the author has us wondering. Each chapter leads us to believe something different: sometimes she's crazy, others that it is all a mistake and have got there without being unbalanced. A real burden to the end.
Gradually, Luca de Tena is going to submit to the sick that populate the asylum, for which he entered into one and filled it with various mental illnesses come here. It's amazing what can happen to a human head ... there are sometimes very hard parts. On the other hand, we have doctors divided between those who believe that Alice is a paranoid and those who believe that telling the truth. The fascinating personality of the protagonist leaves no one indifferent, for better or for worse. Sometimes there are up to pride, speaking with too much self-confidence, but a woman who has answers for all outputs and very intelligent and cultured.
A highly recommended book, which engages and is devoured in a short time before the need to know who is really Alice Gould.
