«Astas Tagebuch» is the mystery novel by Barbara Vine, published by Diogenes Verlag in hardcover (557 pages, in German).
Asta, a young Danish woman living in London at the start of the twentieth century, records her daily life in an intimate diary: the house, the children, waiting for her husband. Decades later, those notes become a publishing success, but anonymous letters question their veracity and expose an old murder and the disappearance of a child.
Barbara Vine is the pseudonym of Ruth Rendell. The English original, Asta's Book, dates from 1993; this edition is translated by Renate Orth-Guttmann (Diogenes-Taschenbuch 22824).
Suitable for German-speaking readers of psychological suspense and historical fiction, with a plot that alternates between eras and characters.
Ruth Barbara Rendell, Baroness Rendell of Babergh, was an English author of thrillers and psychological murder mysteries.
