As Freud aficionados will have instantly recognized, Nora is based on Dora, the young woman described in Freud's most controversial case history. Her story is published as 'A Case of Hysteria' in Volume 7 of The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, or as a short stand-alone paperback, Dora - An Analysis of a Case of Hysteria. Interested readers would find Dora's Case, a collection of essays edited by C. Bernheimer and C. Kahane, particularly illuminating. The biography I would recommend is Freud: A Life for Our Time by Peter Gay.
