Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Highsmith's novels are peerlessly disturbing ....bad dreams that keep us thrashing for the rest of the night (The New Yorker)

Edith's fall takes the form of a psychological chiller, but there is also something larger, the poignancy of her struggle not to go under. She is betrayed by such ordinary dreams (New York Times)

Highsmith probes to the very core of her heroine with a controlled ferocity and single-mindedness that illumines every page of her novel. It is a masterly book, a haunting book, a book that lingers long in the memory and constantly disturbs and delights. (The Times The Times)

A work of extraordinary force and feeling . . . her strongest, her most imaginative and by far her most substantial novel (New Yorker New Yorker)

As original, as funny, as cleverly written and as moving as any novel I have read since I started reviewing (Auberon Waugh The Evening Standard)

Edith's Diary is certainly one of the saddest novels I ever read, but it is also one of the mere twenty or so that I would say were perfect, unimprovable masterpieces (A.N Wilson Daily Telegraph)

Reseña del editor:

Edith Howland's diary is her most precious possession, and as she is moving house she is making sure it's safe. A suburban housewife in fifties America, she is moving to Brunswick with her husband Brett and her beloved son, Cliffie, to start a new life for them all.
