Blurb (from back cover): "In 1909, Sigmund Freud arrived in New York for what would be his only U.S. visit. Upon return to Vienna, he rarely spoke of the trip, but referred to Americans as "savages" for the rest of his life. What befell the great genius during his journey to these shores?"
"Inspired by this still-debated questions, Jed Rubenfeld has woven an exquisitely plotted novel already drawing international acclaim for its blend of classic crime, historical characters, and tantalizing ingredients ranging from Shakespearean puzzles to psychological mysteries."
Opinion: This was just a great fictional read about Freud's factual trip to New York City. I highly recommend this book to any fans of psychological mysteries. Jed Rubenfeld has added a different look at psychological thrillers by putting the founder of psychoanalysis into a mystery. For a complete review, check out MyShelf.com next month.
