#The silent patient movie cast full
Will Sheila be the next victim? Or is she the killer? Her account, translated from the Hebrew by Daniella Zamir, is full of bravado, misdirection and self-justification, particularly when it comes to Sheila’s feelings for the unprofessionally flirtatious 20-something detective assigned to the case. Life has not turned out so well for them, given that one woman committed suicide many years ago and a second has now been murdered. There’s something particularly creepy about a baby doll at a crime scene. Two decades earlier, she, Dina and two other glamorous university friends in Tel Aviv formed a group with a radical founding principle: They would never become mothers. Sheila, a 41-year-old museum tour guide specializing in the childless women of the Bible, is the book’s snarky, unreliable narrator. “There you have it, Dina, you’re finally a mother,” thinks Sheila, an old frenemy of the victim. To add to the macabre nature of the opening tableau in THE OTHERS (Mulholland, 233 pp., $28), by the Israeli author Sarah Blau, the word “mother” is scrawled in blood-red lipstick on the corpse’s forehead. There’s something singularly creepy about a baby doll at a crime scene, particularly when glued to the cold dead hands of a feminist scholar known for her vow never to have children.
