Description: |
In the neat little Pennsylvania house, with senile, dribbling Uncle George and her sly son Cliffie, Edith watches the stranglehold of everyday life tighten its grip. She retreats into her diary where she builds a perfect fantasy of a very different life. |
Synopsis: |
As Edith Howland's life becomes harsh, her diary entries only become brighter and brighter. She invents a happy life. As she knits for imaginary grandchildren, the real world recedes. Her descent into madness is subtle, appalling, and entirely believable. |
