Synopsis:
A young girl arrives at the office of Sigmund Freud with symptoms that have baffled the best medical minds in Vienna. During a lengthy psychoanalysis, a disturbing dream surfaces that figures in a cure but whose deeper meaning Freud deliberately withholds. The novel traces the heroine’s subsequent journey to America to attend Vassar College, then back to Vienna where she finds herself in an arranged marriage marked by sexual bondage. Her efforts to escape an oppressive existence plunge her into a series of intrigues involving Carl Jung, the artist Gustav Klimt and her former analyst before she discovers how Freud’s failure to fully interpret the dream altered the course of her life.
About the Author: Sheldon Cashdan is the author of two books on psychotherapy in addition to a work on the hidden meaning in fairy tales, The Witch Must Die. His books have been translated into over half-a-dozen languages and favorably reviewed in Publisher's Weekly, Booklist and The New Yorker. He and his wife live in Amherst, Massachusetts.
