“The Talented Mr. Ripley” Patricia Highsmith (1955) Review | Cold and nervous

★★★★★ We've all watched or heard of the movie. I watched it, but it still got me. He's cold and nervous, and on the contrary the Italian sky is so blue and open.

🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
The famous Mr. Ripley.
As expected it's a great story, which of course I already knew, but I didn't know it was written by a woman, the same writer as Carol, and it was a series. 
It focuses a lot on what's on his mind, how he's cold and nervous, contrary to the blue sky of Italy. 
Japanese title is "Full of the sun", this alone doesn't make sense, but you get the idea behind it once you finish reading the book. 
The sun was so bright, too bright.

There is a remake on Netflix (yet again!) that I should watch too, it's a story that can be told again and again.
