Publisher Description
In This Sweet Sickness, David Kelsey has an unyielding conviction that life will turn out all right for him; he just has to fix “the situation” of being in love with a married woman. Obsessed with Annabelle and the life he has imagined for them, David prepares to win her over, whatever it takes.
In this riveting tale of a deluded loner, Highsmith reveals her uncanny ability to draw out the secret obsessions that overwhelm the human heart.

“This Sweet Sickness is, as we’ve come to expect from Patricia Highsmith, an impressive psychological study. Objectively yet compassionately she examines a young chemist who spends his weekends in a make-believe world in which that girl did not marry somebody else: and relentlessly she shows how his rejection of reality leads to disaster and death. The book has the compulsion of truth.”
— New York Times
