A review by loreleianderson
Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier

adventurous dark mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.5

The plot is interesting and du Maurier's writing is delightful. But the romance part is juvenile. For me, I could just switch roles with Joss and Patience instead of Jem and Mary to understand what Patience saw in Joss and also see the future of Mary.

Mary is, in my opinion, too reckless but i admired her loyalty and courage even if she annoyed me. 

Is a violent book and you won't find any comfort.
