In London in 1946, Sigmund Freud's 85 year old widow refuses to allow an American journalist to publish her husband's memoirs. Yet a lively correspondence strikes up between the two women and the old lady begins to reminisce about her past
A young Jewish girl in imperial Vienna meets and marries a brilliant doctor, passionate about his research. In the midst of family rivalries and through half a century of political and social upheavals, she remains faithful in the shadow of her famous husband. However this discreet and deeply devoted spouse reveals a surprising capacity for defining her own unique story. Was serving a genius worth sacrificing everything?
This beautiful novel that reads like a biography allows us an intimate view of Sigi's personal life and does justice to the first lady of psychoanalyst at last.
