The Girlhood Table: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Last Saturday of Every Month

The Girlhood Table is our monthly conversation gathering. Some months we discuss a book, other months a shared theme but the goal is always the same: thoughtful conversation in an intimate setting.
This is where Girlhood slows down.

We’re kicking off the year with a psychological thriller that explores truth, perception, and what people choose not to say.

For January, we’ll be reading The Silent Patient which is a gripping, fast-paced mystery centered around a woman who stops speaking after a shocking act of violence, and the therapist determined to uncover why.

The book is accessible, twisty, and full of moments that naturally spark discussion. Whether you finish every page or just want to be part of the conversation, you’re welcome at the table.

⚠️ Content Note
This book includes themes related to mental health, institutionalization, violence, and trauma. Please take care of yourself and participate at whatever level feels right for you during discussion.

This is one of Girlhood’s standing monthly gatherings.
We look forward to gathering around the table with you.
