I'm still pondering what I think of it. I can't say that I really liked it, but I didn't really dislike it either. I'm a fan of Highsmith's writing from the Ripley books, and the quality of prose was certainly here as well. My main problem with this story is that I didn't find any of the characters redeemable in the sense that I cared what happened to them. Well, I did care about Trixie, her being an innocent 6-year old who had to live among the insane of her home and her town. And, I kept hoping for Melinda to get the sound ass-whupping she deserved. Other than that, I didn't have much to root for. I'm fairly certain that Miss Highsmith intended for the entire town to be an insane, dysfunctional mess, and she delivered, but it just felt too overdone and unreal for me to relate. ( ) Pretty much great. Wife flaunts her affairs in front of husband and he acquiesces mildly - or does he? The book charts this undercurrent of resentment/anger building up to violent encounters. Author does a neat trick of presenting the husband as sympathetically as possible for almost the entire book, but then causing the reader to wonder if we are sympathizing with a psychotic figure. Great. Vic gilt als etwas merkwürdig, aber auch als freundlich und tolerant. Etwas zu tolerant ist er (so finden jedenfalls seine Freunde) gegenüber seiner jungen Frau Melinda, die immer wieder neue Liebhaber ins Haus bringt. Nur die Tatsache, dass diese Männer ihm nicht das Wasser reichen können, scheint ihn zu irritieren. Doch stille Wasser gründen tief. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Now a major motion picture starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas Vic and Melinda Van Allen's loveless marriage is held together only by a precarious arrangement whereby, in order to avoid the messiness of divorce, Melinda is allowed to take any number of lovers as long as she does not desert her family. Eventually, Vic can no longer suppress his jealousy and tries to win back his wife by asserting himself through a tall tale of murderâ??one that soon comes true. In this complex portrayal of a dangerous psychosis emerging in the most unlikely of places, Highsmith examines the chilling reality behind the idyllic facade of American suburban life.
