'As original, as funny, as cleverly written and as moving as any novel I have read since I started reviewing' Auberon Waugh, Evening Standard 'With Edith's Diary, Patricia Highsmith has produced a masterpiece' Times Literary Supplement 'Highsmith probes to the very core of her heroine with a controlled ferocity and single-mindedness that illumines every page of her novel' The Times 'A work of extraordinary force and feeling ... her strongest, her most imaginative and by far her most substantial novel' New Yorker

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. She is optimistic, but she has high hopes most of all for her new venture with Brett, a local newspaper, the Brunswick Corner Bugle. Life seems full of promise, and indeed, to read her diary, filled with her most intimate feelings and revelations, you would never think otherwise. Strange then, that reality is so dangerously different
Les mer
A classic suspense novel with a collection of deliberate lies.
Rejacketed as part of Bloomsbury's ongoing Highsmith reissue programme Perfect for fans of the Ripley series and all classic thrillers 'Edith's Diary, a sinuous study of the onset of insanity that is horribly plausible and completely gripping' Lesley Glaister, Sunday Herald
