Features: The smart and adorable eighteen-year-old girl, Dora, is the protagonist of this highly engaging detective novel. Freud uses her neurotic behavior, her confessions, and the content of her dreams as clues to explore the mysteries of her mind. The story includes a mother with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, a charming and promiscuous father, the father's lover, Ms. K, and the husband of Ms. K, who is passionately pursuing Dora—all of whom are as complex as Dora. Freud's brilliant analytical abilities reveal the intricate motives behind Dora's hysterical condition, multiple triangular relationships, and secrets of homosexuality, completely laying them bare before the readers. His writing talent further makes this book a gripping masterpiece.
