Cold

Cold

Dysfunctional family problems, political causes during the Vietnam War era, and her dreams and fantasies are all carefully written in her diary. With the turn of each page, Edith’s character changed ever so slightly. By the end of the book, I was left feeling amazed at the subtle but overwhelming transformation Edith went through. Cliffie, her son, drove me nuts throughout the book.

Edith’s Diary made me want to start drinking scotch, neat… and made me question my own sanity.

A good book sprinkled with humor but washed away in the stream of a dark undercurrent of foreboding. ( )

Patricia Highsmith est classée un peu vite dans le genre policier et suspens. C'est dommage, elle est plus que ça. Le journal d'Edith est la chronique d'un glissement progressif dans un monde mental idéal, pour ne pas voir une réalité trop cruelle à admettre.
