Her talent will always be overshadowed by her notoriety, so it’s hard to be objective. I don’t know enough about art to say whether Alicia Berenson will stand the test of time as a painter. It has none of the visceral quality of Alicia’s best work. I find his stuff rather slick and shallow, to be honest. Since his death, the price of his photographs has increased astronomically. He had a distinctive style, shooting semi-starved, semi-naked women in strange, unflattering angles. They were both artists Alicia was a painter, and Gabriel was a well-known fashion photographer. The ending? Trust me you will hold on, put the book, think, or even blink at your screen, for as much time as you wish.Alicia Berenson was thirty-three years old when she killed her husband. I would highly recommend it to thriller lovers, and anyone who wants to know who the killer is. The climax will just make you hold your breath in an anxious way that you just want to go on and read “one more chapter” till you meet the truth: the killer is … So based on the provided details, who do you think is capable of killing Gabriel? The loving wife? The brother who would inherit Gabriel’s money? The cousin who needs money as well? Or the stranger who keeps roaming around the house? As you can notice, the plot is somehow complicated and details and characters keep popping up one after another during the whole development of the story. In a more precise way, Alicia lacked at some point of her life a mental stability because her mother died when she was young and her father hanged himself. The detail is the fact that Alicia has been mentally damaged long before the murder of her husband. I feel like I should leave you with a tiny detail before your minds start making a connection between these characters and point fingers towards possible murderers. In addition to that, Alicia writes about a stranger man, who keeps watching her, constantly. He is a gambler and an alcoholic person who pays Alicia a visit in her home, asking for money because he was in trouble.
Wait! There is Paul Too, Alicia’s cousin. Jean-Felix gets angry, because he thinks it is Gabriel’s influence on Alicia. A week before Gabriel’s murder, Alicia decides to leave the gallery.
He is Alicia’s friend in the gallery, an artist as well. In the diary, you are going to be introduced to Jean-Felix as well. According to Alicia’s analysis, he is jealous of Gabriel, and thus tries to take everything from him, including her. Max harasses Alicia on several occasions. In that diary, you will get introduced to Max, Gabriel’s adopted brother.
Wait! I should update you more and more, but without spoilers. Alicia ends up making a decision that she will keep silent for good. Alcestis, in the story/ legend, dies and is reborn. Alcestis, and I feel you should know this as well, is “An intimate Kitchen-Sink Greek tragedy” in which a man is condemned to die, and his wife, Alcestis, wants to save him. She has painted herself, along with her cut wrists, and entitled her work of Art as Alcestis. The interesting thing in Alicia is that she has painted only one painting after Gabriel is gone. Is it shock? It is trauma? Is she even the killer? All the police did was to assume what I have mentioned above. Not to mention their aggressivity (well, that’s how I put it) towards Theo. Wait! let’s get back to Alicia, she hasn’t spoken a word since her husband’s attempted murder. I feel like I should update you with the fact that everyone in that place acts in a very weird way. One should presume she has killed Gabriel, and decided to take her life as well, as an act of guit, maybe? Six years later, and after Alicia has been put in a madhouse, a psychotherapist starts to work there. Dr. Where is Alicia? She is sitting next to him. Her wrists are cut as if it’s a suicide attempt. Gabriel is found killed: several gunshots on his face and body. The beginning describes a murder that happens in their own house. Wait, that’s not how the story, or at least the book begins.
You can say that Alicia and Gabriel are the perfect couple. She is married to Gabriel, who is an artist as well, and more precisely, a photographer.
