“Recognition is a complex neurological process and humans are very, very good at masking the absence of it. People adapt around memory losses. They rely on other things—visual cues, social cues—they get good at reading people, situations; they find ways around things until an answer presents itself.”Now, with this said this book really goes out on a limb to reel in the drama, the suspense, the action that is quite alarming.
It all begins with a Mr. Nobody- a man with no memory, drifting in and out of consciousness, &unable to speak.
Oh and one other tidbit- He knows things about others especially Emma or at least that's the name she goes by now.
"Nobody becomes a psychiatrist by accident."
So, when we look into a suicide from her past we may uncover something far worse about Charles Beaufort's misappropriation of funds and sudden death.
The man- Mr. Nobody- was given a name - Matthew.
Of course, it's not his real name and in fact his real name may not even be his name.
What's in a name -after all especially when identity theft is on the rise all around the world.
You know what else might be on the rise?
Mental illness. Especially anxiety, bi-polar, fragmented personalities, and more.
However, in death we often uncover life.
Which is ironic but so too is the fact that what's left behind upon death might shock many who had no idea what hidden pasts some are capable of living.
Wow!
This was even better than Something in the Water!
I suppose all that's left to note is this:
We can't change people. People have to want to change themselves!
Enjoy!
