«El diario de Edith» is the psychological suspense novel by Patricia Highsmith, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardcover (422 pages, in Spanish).
Edith writes a diary to order her thoughts and daily experiences. Soon the boundary between what is written and what is real begins to blur, and the novel portrays loneliness, the fragility of the psyche, and the self-deceptions that sustain a life of routine and renunciations, with the disturbing tension characteristic of Patricia Highsmith.
The work was originally published in English as 'Edith's diary' in 1977; this 2002 edition, translated by José Luis López Muñoz, belongs to the Biblioteca Patricia Highsmith collection.
Recommended for readers of Patricia Highsmith and of psychological suspense novels.
