Determined to give her best, Edna allowed herself only one lapse from duty, a few minutes of a dream. Some afternoons, when the day's cleaning was over, she would put on a favourite record, lie down in her perfect living room, close her eyes and for half an hour dance, dance and sing..Was it perhaps this one weakness that proved to be the fatal flaw?

Dancing in the Dark

Vintage Canada, 2006. Paperback. Very Good. '() Edna Cormick, forty-three, is incarcerated in a mental hospital for murdering her husband. For twenty years, Edna escaped the world by devoting herself to the health and welfare of her husband and home, so when she learns he’s been having an affair, her sense of betrayal is devastating and literally maddening. And so she sits, silently filling notebooks, trying to find where and how her life went wrong. Dancing in the Dark is a tightly woven psychological novel, which explores the idea that madness is not necessarily self-destructive, and may lead to a kind of wisdom.'''' ID: mon0000075393 .
