My apologies for incorrectly spelling Salley Vickers' name in my review. Here is a corrected version:

The Other Side of You by Salley Vickers

Psychoanalyst David McBride describes a series of consultations with a suicidal patient, Elizabeth. A dry-as-dust case history? Not a bit of it. Salley Vickers' novel blossoms from prosaic beginnings. There are insights galore into the human condition, but these are delivered within the context of a passionate and multi-layered love story. By means of visits to Rome, and via a shared understanding of the life and work of Caravaggio, both David and Elizabeth discover ways in which their damaged lives may be changed.
This is a wonderful novel - a thought-provoking and entertaining read.
