The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier
4.0
This is the story of a family from Plyn struck by luck, tragedy, love and hatred. It follows roughly one hundred years of the family history and covers four generations of likely minded, wild spirited and stubborn characters.
It is not a deep theme, but it does touch on fate and an inexplicable love for the world, the sea, adventure and home. I have to say that it was quite a pleasant read, very nice to escape this Coronavirus/self-quarantine madness. You might not identify with all main characters but there are traits that you will like and decisions that you will understand. The story just flows...in the beginning you might ask yourself: why tf am I reading this? Is it going to be just debates about weddings, small town gossip and nitpicking? No, I promise you, as the plot progresses, inner conflicts and family matters take over and create a very relatable portrait of a shattered and at the same time united family.
