After reading this book, I had to look up Adolfina's real history and found that there isn't one. She's briefly mentioned in Sigmund Freud's Wiki bio and a picture shows a dreamy, weak looking young lady. Not much to go on when writing a book. The author had his work cut out for him.
All in all, this is a depressing book telling a story of a very depressing life. I can only hope that Adolfina's real life was happier than this.
It's almost as if the author has made Adolfina a female Freud, living through the concepts and arguments of Freud's psychological beliefs. I can't say that for certain, not knowing a lot about Freud's beliefs. Throughout the book, the two debate and philosophise about life, meaning and purpose.
There's no joy or happiness in this book. Life is bleak. Yikes!
