The style of the Parasites is very different to other books of du Maurier’s. Instead of a thriller or adventure plot, it focuses instead on a thorough character study of three siblings and their complex family relationships. Du Maurier is masterful at creating a particular atmosphere, and in The Parasites I found it to be bleak and without redemption.
3.75 stars. I am not mad at the ending. Not the usual duMaurier offering. Interesting.
