The breaking point
Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876 – 1958)
Mary Roberts Rinehart — "America's Agatha Christie" as she was once called — set this story in a suburban New York town, shortly after the end of World War I. Dick Livingstone is a successful young doctor who, in the course of events, becomes engaged to Elizabeth Wheeler. But there is a mystery about his past, and he believes he is honor-bound to solve it before giving himself to her in marriage. In particular, a shock of undetermined origin erased his memory about a decade ago. Rinehart, who had probably read or read about the then-popular Sigmund Freud, plays on what today is called "repressed memory" by taking Dick into his past and the dangers that, unbeknownst to him, await him. there. Is she right about the behavior of memory? Who knows? After all, this is not a clinical treatise, but a work of fiction, one of the thrillers that made her such a popular writer of the early 20th century. (Introduction by Nicholas Clifford)
