Kurzbeschreibung
As Edith Howland's life becomes harsh, her diary entries only become brighter and brighter. She invents a happy life. As she knits for imaginary grandchildren, the real world recedes. Her descent into madness is subtle, appalling, and entirely believable.
Synopsis
To escape the terrible realities of an alcoholic son, a departed husband, a bedridden uncle, and a dreary parttime job, Edith records the activities of a happy family in her journal.

I enjoyed reading this book (It took only 3 days to read the 318 pages)!
First I did not understand why Edith does not reveal the truth in her diary but the more I read I found out what Edith really felt and I got more and more into her soul and life.
In the end I felt a great sympathy with her and felt even pity.
It's an absurd book with so much to think about.
But it's worth reading it!!

Edith's Diary is by no means an easy book. But like all of Patricia Highsmith's novels is a masterpiece of claustrophobic suspense. I read it almost 15 years ago when I was a college student in Caracas, and believe it or not this story of a woman trapped in her home with a son from hell was a cult following novel for my generation, as well as almost all of Highsmith work. Our teachers couldn't understand our love for the american writer who choosed to live in Switzerland, she was to weird, too disturbing. I found that it was easier to find her novels in Europe and South America than in U.S.A. Now in 2000, thanks to Ripley's game and thanks to movie director Anthony Minghella, a new generation will know one of America's best and most underated authors.

I just finished the book.It's not amazing,but it gives you a subtile thrill that continues even if you try not to think about it.Patricia Highsmith can't give you the delight of a perfect prose,but she can tell a story.You can't forget the siamese cat Nelson wandering round the house of Edith while her mind slowly changes.No way you can call her mad.This book seems to concentrate mainly about madness,without giving us a hint of what it is.

Highsmith delivers: may not action-packed as Ripley series.
Starts slow. Not much excitement till toward the last few chapters. But Highsmith delivers the intense and compelling conclusion to her novel. Lesen Sie weiter...

Highsmith ventures into more psychological than usual .
A chilling and haunting psychological biography. thoroughly modern in its insights. A believable look at a woman sinking into madness.
