Book Description:
Mystery author, Ruth Rendell (writing as Barbara Vine) evokes the life of Anna, a young Danish immigrant in turn-of-the-century London, as she confides her rebellious thoughts to her diary. Years later Anna's granddaughter stumbles upon missing portions of the diary that may provide the answer to an unsolved murder: the stabbing of a woman and the disappearance of her daughter. Ricocheting between diary passages and Anne's search into the lives of her mother and grandmother, the reader learns the truth about the women in Anne's past. Actress Wanda McCaddon reads this engrossing story-within-a-story. 2 cassettes.

Suzanne H. (Fine writing and skillful buildup of suspense, as usual for Rendell/Vine.
I'm a huge Ruth Rendell fan, and I think this is one of her best.
The story goes back and forth between relatively modern times and the turn of the century when Anna was a young woman bearing children. Parts of it consist of Anna's diary entries. Intriguing and pleasant to read.
