Case Study
ABOUT
THE BOOK
London, 1965. An unworldly young woman suspects charismatic psychotherapist Collins Braithwaite of involvement in her sister’s death. Determined to find out more, she becomes a client of his under a false identity. But she soon finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer be certain of anything. In Case Study, Graeme Macrae Burnet presents both sides: the woman’s notes and the life of Collins Braithwaite. The result is a dazzling, page-turning and wickedly humorous meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth itself, by one of the most inventive novelists writing today.
