This Sweet Sickness: A Virago Modern Classic: Virago Modern Classics

Autor Patricia Highsmith Introducere de Sarah Hilary
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 ian 2025
It was jealousy that kept David from sleeping, drove him from a tousled bed out of the dark and silent boarding house to walk the streets...

David Kelsey has an unswerving conviction that life is going to work out for him - if he can just fix the 'Situation'. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn't mean she doesn't still love David. Even though she's pregnant with her husband's baby, David is certain she will take him back. Under an alias, he is setting up the perfect home for the two of them in a town close by. And everything is just about going to plan, until things take a murderous turn... An addictively twisted study of obsession from the bestselling author of The Talented Mr Ripley.

Recenzii

The No.1 Greatest Crime Writer
Highsmith is a giant of the genre. The original, the best, the gloriously twisted Queen of Suspense
Highsmith was every bit as deviant and quirky as her mischievous heroes, and didn't seem to mind if everyone knew it
No one has created psychological suspense more densely and deliciously satisfying
I love Highsmith so much . . . What a revelation her writing is
For eliciting the menace that lurks in familiar surroundings, there's no one like Patricia Highsmith
Terrific book, very wry humour, and a great unreliable narrator
A writer who has created a world of her own - a world claustrophobic and irrational which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger . . . Miss Highsmith is the poet of apprehension
A cracker . . . a compellingly creepy novel that foreshadowed much of what Highsmith would explore in The Talented Mr Ripley
It was jealousy that kept David from sleeping, drove him from a tousled bed out of the dark and silent boarding house to walk the streets...
