For more than a century Martha Bernays was silenced, reduced to the cliché of the great man's wife, mother of his children and keeper of his house. Here she takes centre stage, rereading the letters she and Sigmund Freud wrote each other while engaged, between 1882 and 1886, in an effort to understand herself, and in the process methodically taking apart the many-sided figure of the founder of psychoanalysis. Grounded in documents, with invention kept to a minimum, the book is a conversation between equals who look for one another, meet and keep missing, and it shows Martha coming to defy the male authority that kept her quiet.
