    About this ebook

    A mute Mayan girl held captive in a crate in the Guatemalan jungle, a big-city psychoanalyst with a rescue complex, and a journalist with a broken heart are the characters in Sheila Dalton’s second literary novel.

    Caitlin Shaughnessy, a Canadian journalist, discovers that Inez, a traumatized young Mayan woman originally from Guatemala, has killed Caitlin’s psychoanalyst partner, Dr. Jerry Simpson. Simpson brought the girl, who may be autistic, back to Canada as an act of mercy and to attempt to treat her obvious trauma. Cailin desperately needs to find out why this terrible incident occurred so she can find the strength to forgive and move on with her life.

    Inez, whose sense of wonder and innocence touches all who meet her, becomes a focal point for many of the Canadians who encounter her. As Caitlin struggles to uncover the truth about Inez’s relationship with Jerry, Inez struggles to break free of the projections of others. Each must confront her own anger and despair. The doctors in the north have an iciness that matches their surroundings, a kind of clinical armour that Caitlin must penetrate if she is to reach Inez.

    The Girl in the Box is a psychological drama of the highest order and a gripping tale of intrigue and passion.

      Oh gosh it was awful. The writing was cheesy, the characterizations incomplete, the pacing slow. There are seemingly random interjections of political viewpoints on feminism and social movements that add nothing to the story but turn readers away from the characters. I know very little about the wars in Central America in the 1980s, and after reading this book honestly I know almost as little. I wanted more mystery and more characterization of people and places to give the story roots.

      This is a story of what it means to love, to help others, to forgive. It is also a bit of a mystery -- we know who killed whom, but why? The story centers around a psychiatrist who meets a young woman kept in a box in Guatemala and brings her home to Canada to treat her. His long-time partner is a journalist who is supportive of his efforts. However, when the young woman murders the psychiatrist, the journalist's loyalties are torn apart. Her partner is dead, but she is the only friend the young woman has: a young woman far from home who is non-verbal and obviously suffers from emotional and mental problems. The story moves along well and the main characters were well developed. The secondary characters weren't as strong, and the motivation for the killing could have been developed a bit more.

      When I read the back of the book this book made me think of the movie "Nell" but once I started reading the book I realized that it was nothing like that movie. I had the same idea of a feral children but other than that they are totally different. The books starts when Jerry was in Guatemala and finds Inez. The book then jumps to the present day when Caitlin finds out that Jerry was killed Inez. It jumps back and forth quite a bit as Caitlin starts to write a book and looking into why Inez killed Jerry. Lets just say that I never saw the book ending how it did. Even now while I am writing this I am still in shock about how it ended. The author does a great job keeping the person interested and making you feel like you are there with the characters. I couldn't help but like Inez and even feel bad for her. I know that most people would find this book interesting if you like mysteries and/or thrillers.

      FTC- I received a complimentary copy of "The Girl In The Box" for this review and I received no other compensation. The opinions expressed in the post are mine and only mine.

      Emotional and intense, the characters stay in your thoughts long after the reading is done. Superbly crafted and engrossing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and could not put it down.

      "Was it possible to keep loving someone who had destroyed my life?"I've done really badly with review copies from LibraryThing in the past - I had two thrillers turn out to be uber-religious proselytising. However, this one (which I wasn't all that convinced by on the blurb) was a revelation - it was the cause of failing-to-go-to-bed-because-of-book, which is always a good sign for a book.Psychoanalyst Jerry goes to Guatemala to track down some shamans and talk to them about the use of drugs in therapy. What he finds is an abused Mayan girl, to whom he could give a better life in Canada. His partner Caitlin is very understanding and co-operates with his plan to bring Inez back to Canada for political refuge and therapy, but when Inez is found holding a marble lamp over Jerry's dead body, Caitlin's world is shattered. She can't figure out why sweet, mute Inez would kill Jerry so violently. And thus Caitlin's story begins...The characters in this novel were far better constructed than I had expected. Both Caitlin and Jerry are deeply intellectual, sympathetic people, although Jerry is quite free-spirited and Caitlin more given to unpredictable bouts of anger. Inez is a terrific creation - sweet tempered and loving but with a terrible past which flares in nervous outbreaks. The supporting characters (Margaret, Inez's live-in nurse; Michael, Jerry's fellow analyst; Molly, Caitlin's confidante) are kept to a minimum in number and thus also developed strongly.As a murder mystery, this one does not play by the rules - we know who the victim and perpetrator are right at the start. The mystery is the motive - and the suspense is kept up throughout the novel; we get an idea of the villain pretty early on but the explanation comes very late.Definitely worth a read - not a book I would have bought but one I am very glad to have read!

      Refers to ARC copy of the book.When I received Sheila Dalton's book, The Girl in the Box, I was not certain what to except and I am pleased to report that Dalton's book exceeded my expectations. The Girl in the Box takes the reader to Guatemala and Canada and into the lives of a mute Mayan girl, Inez, and a Caitlin, journalists whose lives are intricately woven together and must be unraveled for healing to begin. Dalton weaves together an exceptional plot with twists and told through flashbacks in such an expertly executed manner as to keep the reader thoroughly engaged until the very end. I highly recommend The Girl in the Box to all readers.

      I was intruiged by the synopsis of this book - set between Canada and Guatemala, the tale is told from a variety of perspectives and through flashbacks and the present. I am so glad that I got the chance to review this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it. The premise is so original that the book couldn't help but offer a unique story. Inez, a mute Mayan girl has been kept locked in a crate by her parents. Jerry is a Canadian Therapist on the hunt for native drugs in one of his favourite places where he has travelled and stayed before. Following tense negotiations, Jerry manages to rescue Inez (with the blessing of her parents who seem more than a little relieved to see her go) and take her back to Canada. Along with his partner Caitlin, he hopes to rehabilitate Inez, to get to the bottom of her story and to help her lead a fulfilling life. Before long however, Jerry is dead, murdered by Inez it seems and Caitlin is torn between resentment and her love for the young girl that she has spent so much time with. Caitlin finally succumbs to her instincts as a journalist and sets off to visit Inez who has been sent to a remote hospital in the frozen North. Slowly the truth behind Jerry's death is revealed as the novel concludes.I enjoyed this book so much - it is a really satisfying read and full of interesting and stimulating facts about everything from the politics in Guatemala, the treatment of the Mayans and their culture to early experiments in psychotherapy. It is a fantastic read and if you like a book with real substance and a gripping tale to tell, I can't recommend this highly enough.
    • 5/5
      Several synopses appear in this list, so I'll just go to my opinion. I thought it was a unique unusual and interesting plot with complex and appealing characters. I was interested in the gruesome political scene in Guatemala and the bleak landscape of the northern instiution where Inez ends up. And I'm always a sucker for psychological drama and treatment therapies. I empathized with Caitlyn's emotional dilemma, her fondness of and concern for the girl who murdered her partner. I'll put this one on my 'read again' shelf. (Thank you LibraryThing Early Reviewers. You sent me another winner.)
    • 5/5
      A very good book filled with interesting twists and turns. As soon as the story begins to unfold, you have the sense that something dark or disturbing has happened pertaining to the death of a major character but you really don't know what it is. I found myself constantly trying to figure it out as I read through the chapters and more information was revealed. This is a book that makes you think. I enjoyed it very much and I will be on the lookout for anything else this author puts out.
    • 4/5
      The Girl in the Box was a compelling book which was hard to put down, and left me thinking about the story long after the final page. It is a psychological mystery, the mystery being not who did it, but why. Why would a girl rescued from a horrendous existence in a jungle in Guatemala kill the very person who rescued her, took her in, and is trying to help her? The girl, Inez, is mostly non-verbal, but everyone who meets her is drawn to her beauty and innocence between bouts of violence and anguish.The author takes us right inside the minds of the people involved in helping Inez, along with all their own issues and imperfections. A series of flashbacks provides the back-story and keeps you turning the pages and trying to understand what happened. Some parts of the story require the suspension of disbelief, such as how a Canadian psychologist could waltz into the embassy in Guatemala with a non-verbal girl in tow, and leave with a visa for her and permission to take her home to Toronto. Nonetheless, once you accept that premise, the rest of the book is very realistic and fascinating. Ultimately, the story belongs to Caitlin, partner of the murdered psychologist Jerry, in her search to uncover the truth and try to find closure in her grief which is coupled with a very real affection and sympathy for Inez.Highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      How would you treat a girl who killed your boyfriend? What if she had mental issues? Inez is a young Mayan girl who was held captive in the Guatemalan jungle. When Jerry hears of her plight, he knows he must help her. Inez is not really innately "wild." She will come off as more reserved, afraid, and a bit like a puppy-unsure of herself or her surroundings. The author makes her character very different from the norm. Jerry is portrayed as the sometimes grumpy often helpful psychoanalyst. Caitlin, Jerry's girlfriend, is possibly the easiest character to like; she can be kind, funny, and intelligent. The reader will follow Inez's journey from Guatemala to Canada. Jerry's careful care of her is interesting to read about. How would you take care of a mute Mayan girl with potential mental disabilities? Caitlin remains connected to Jerry and, through him, Inez. When the disaster happens and Jerry is found dead, Caitlin must reconcile her feelings with this momentous event. Overall, this book is very interesting and will hold the reader's attention throughout the novel. The characters were easy to connect with, very "real." This book is recommended to adult readers.

      Synopsis: Former bar singer and Buddhist meditator Caitlin Shaughnessy, a Canadian journalist, discovers that Inez, a traumatized young Mayan woman from Guatemala, has killed Dr. Jerry Simpson, her partner of many years. 
Caitlin struggles to understand what happened, and why. In the process, she confronts her own demons, as well as the innocence and wonder within Inez which seem to belie the young woman's violent actions.Review: When I picked up The Girl in a Box I was not really sure what to expect. Most titles give an idea of what the book is about but this book is really literal when it comes to the title. The author clearly did a lot of research when choosing a location for her book to be based in. The book starts off with Jerry, and how he found the girl in the box, Inez. Jerry has a long history with the country of Guatemala, in fact it’s where he met Caitlin, the woman he loves. The parts where Jerry is on this trip are very sad to read, and unfortunately probably very accurate. Inez is kept in a wooden box, away from her family’s home, and she is kept in this box with a chain and a lock. It is clear she is a disturbed girl, most likely with some kind of mental issue that her family just doesn’t know how to treat; and so they lock her up for her own well being. Ultimately Jerry brings Inez home with him back to Canada to live with him, as a way for him to help her. The situation ends as tragically as it began. Inez kills Jerry. The story is mostly told from Caitlin’s point of view. As the woman who loved Jerry, and had even come to bond with Inez, she is shocked and traumatized at the sudden and violent death of her partner. This turn of events for Caitlin causes her to search for answers as well as take a look at her and Jerry’s past. This book is definitely a book for people who are looking for psychological mystery. Most mysteries that involve murder involve a lot of build up into finding out who the killer is and then catching them and bringing them to justice. This book is not about that, the killer is known from the beginning and is tried in a court of law. This book is about the inner workings of people’s lives, motivations, and a search for truth. I enjoyed the journey and the search for what happened, even though it dealt with very sad subject matter and pulled at your heart strings when the reader reads it.

      Sheila Dalton's THE GIRL IN THE BOX leaps right into the tangled emotions of Canadian journalist Caitlin Shaughnessy, whose life partner, psychiatrist Jerry Simpson, has just been murdered by Inez, a mysterious, beautiful, and mute Mayan teenager he found in the jungles of South America and brought back to his home in Canada for treatment.In a departure from most novels involving a murder, the question is never who did it but why. The extremely unorthodox method Jerry uses of having this damaged beauty live in his house while he treats her, and the subsequent murder, forces Caitlin to question the purity of Jerry's motives and actions, and to launch an investigation into Jerry's past, their relationship, and the enigma that is Inez, all the while terrified she'll discover that the Jerry that she loved was an illusion that masked a sexual predator.Dalton moves the story along at a good clip and weaves compelling flashbacks into the narrative that illuminate the present tale, adding richness, and most importantly, relevant, information to both the plot and the emotional landscapes of the characters.Recommended for those who enjoy both psychological dramas and literary mysteries.

      The Girl in the Box, set deep in the Mayan highlands of Guatemala, begins in February 1983as Guatemalan rebels continue their fight against the military government that rules the country. The Mayans find themselves caught in the crossfire – forced by the rebels to provide food and shelter, but brutally punished by the army when caught doing so. Despite the continued fighting and associated danger, Canadian psychoanalyst Jerry Simpson has returned to the area for another extended visit.This time, however, he will return to Canada with a girl who has been forced by her Mayan parents to live for several years in a “box” they built for her. Inez refuses to speak but appears to be physically healthy and willing to travel with Dr. Simpson. Until he can find the right treatment facility for Inez, Simpson plans to hire a private nurse to live with him and Inez in his home while a colleague of his works with her there. Caitlin Shaughnessy, an independent journalist and Simpson’s longtime partner, is able to put aside her initial misgivings about the situation and comes to love the charismatic Inez almost as much as Simpson loves her. But Caitlin’s world will shockingly be shattered when she learns that the doctor has been killed by his young Guatemalan patient. Inez, more uncommunicative than ever, cannot explain what happened and investigators assume that she killed Dr. Simpson in a fit of rage. No one can know what triggered that rage. Caitlin, though, understands that she will be unable to forgive Inez, or even to resume her life, until she learns exactly what happened between Simpson and Inez – and why.Sheila Dalton’s portrayal of village life during this bloody period in Guatemalan history is both enlightening and touching. She populates the village with ordinary people, some simply trying to get by the best they can and others, like the local doctor and the woman who runs a tiny café, who become everyday heroes by their efforts to help the nearby Mayans. Dalton primarily tells her story in a series of overlapping flashbacks of events seen through the eyes of Dr. Simpson and Caitlin Shaughnessy, an effective device that does falter a bit toward the middle of the book. At that point, the author spends an inordinate number of pages on one of the doctor’s other patients and in describing philosophical differences between Caitlin and Simpson regarding the value of therapy. Hopefully, readers will not succumb to any temptation to give up on the book at this point because those who persevere will be rewarded with an intriguing solution to the puzzle.Rated at: 3.5

      Shelia Dalton’s The Girl in the Box is a wonderfully constructed and intricately woven tale of a mute, seemingly autistic, teenage girl who is rescued from a deplorable existence in the Guatemalan jungle. Chained and made to live in a windowless shed by her parents, Jerry, a Canadian psychoanalyst on vacation, rescues the girl by bringing her back home with him to Canada.The novel begins with Jerry’s murder at the hands of the girl, Inez. This story is not a who dunnit, but instead delves into the why of it. After Jerry’s murder, his life partner, Caitlin is compelled to explore the workings of the damaged girl’s mind in an attempt to put the pieces together. Did the beautiful teenager kill Jerry because of something he did? This question haunts Caitlin and drives her to find answers. Dalton takes us from Guatamala to Toronto to Labrador and we go willingly, unable to put the book down until we discover, along with Caitlin, the truth behind the murder.The Girl in the Box is a wonderful read. Dalton possesses genuine literary talent and I was greatly impressed. A five star read that I can’t recommend highly enough.
