I am now hooked on Daphne du Maurier books. From http://www.dumaurier.org/:
“Daphne was born in 1907, grand-daughter of the brilliant artist and writer George du Maurier, daughter of Gerald, the most famous Actor Manager of his day, she came from a creative and successful family.
She began writing short stories in 1928, and in 1931 her first novel, ‘The Loving Spirit’ was published. It received rave reviews and further books followed. Then came her most famous three novels, ‘Jamaica Inn’, ‘Frenchman’s Creek’ and Rebecca’. Each novel being inspired by her love of Cornwall, where she lived and wrote.”
I am currently reading My Cousin Rachel. In fact, I am probably down to the last 20 pages.
Before that, I read Rebecca. I had seen the old black and white movie some years earlier. It was an excellent read!
