A review by fros86
The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier

3.0

3.5 stars - mainly because it was generally as gripping as other Du Maurier novels that I have read, in terms of story and descriptive language (particularly in terms of Cornwall), but I did find much of the first half of the story very disturbing, and not in the usual creepy Du Maurier style.

Having just visited Cornwall (and bought this book from the Daphne Du Maurier bookshop 'Bookends', I found myself transported back there when reading about the countryside- the descriptions are so vivid.


A great read, just be prepared for some disturbing themes coming very close to incest...
