I bought this book for the enthusiastic comments I read around ... at the beginning of reading, I began to doubt the veracity of these comments, but I read and gradually coming to an end, I enjoyed myself. The protagonist, Michael, is a middle-aged man very staid, predictable, and certainly not an exciting type short.
His wife, Elizabeth, married him perhaps more for a desire for security and stability for love. Their life runs like a straight line between dinner with members of the club and a golf course.
One day, while the couple and guests at the country house of some friends, Michael sees a small painting and watching him carefully. On the bottom, a little 'fuzzy, note the image of a woman dressed in green. When I later returned to cover the picture, the woman is gone, will the imagined?
This mysterious girl of the portrait will again meet Michael's life over and over again in different circumstances. He will say his name Lamia, but who or what is the Lamia? The Lamia, Greece, according to some beliefs, is a demon and half woman and half serpent is portrayed as a vampire-looking figure of a woman with a long green dress
Moreover, the question is: Michael sees the real or it is a consequence of the fact that he stopped taking the Serendipozan (a drug for people suffering from schizophrenia)?
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, who was unaware of all known changes which Michael becomes more cheerful, bright and unpredictable and their relationship improves considerably, but until when?
The reading continues and grows more and more the need to know and, in the epilogue, we understand many things, but we will continue to ask questions even after you close the book ...
Very interesting digression on schizophrenia and scientific advances relating to it it seems as if the author asks if in fact they are not all the people so-called "normal" to have something less than the schizophrenics, the ability to see and hear everything that surrounds us and that is invisible to much of the common people.
