Diario de Edith, El -v2*

by Patricia Highsmith

Overview

En El diario de Edith, Patricia Highsmith narra el desmoronamiento personal de Edith, quien vive en una casa en Pennsylvania con su tío George y su malvado hijo Cliffie. La asfixiante realidad diaria la lleva a refugiarse en su diario, donde imagina una vida perfecta. Este deslizamiento hacia la fantasía culmina en un desenlace sutil, intenso y más terrorífico que un simple asesinato.

A novel about the progressive breakdown of Edith which ends hastily in the middle of her trivial life. Edith lives with her uncle and his evil son in a little house in Pennsylvania. Slowly and unavoidably, she begins hiding in her own diary and creates a fantasy world totally different from reality. The end is subtle and intense, more terrifying than a murder.
