A piece of historical fiction that had me always guessing where the truth ended. Sigmund Freud is not so happily married and his sister-in-law has lost her fiancee to disease, so after a few jobs as companions to other ladies, she is invited to move into the Freud home - drama ensues.
As I didn't know much about Freud in general, I found this book to be interesting because it made quite a few mentions of how Freud came up with his theories. I took a few breaks in the book to read up on Freud and find out more about him and the science he created. My favorite character was his wife, at first I found her to be homely, naive and just oblivious to all the things going on around her, but she definitely had some character growth and ended up being a stand out character. I felt for Minna as she was trying to find her own life and I am not sure if she ever did.
