«El diario de Edith» is the mystery and suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (424 pages, in Spanish).
Edith and her son Cliffie take refuge in imagination to cope with a difficult reality. The first lie Edith writes in her diary stems from her loss of hope in Cliffie's future, as he has been giving up his dreams since childhood. Thus, the novel traces the slow blurring between what she writes and what happens.
Translation of the original English «Edith's Diary», published in 1977. In this Alianza edition it is part of the El Libro de Bolsillo collection (no. 1631).
For readers of psychological suspense and crime fiction, as well as for followers of the American author.
