I had the audiobook version of this classic read by Kathryn Drysdale who does a good job. This is my first delve into this author’s work.
Mary promised her dying mother that she would go to stay with her Aunt Patience and Uncle Joss at Jamaica Inn. On arrival the coachman warned her away from the Inn.
The very descriptive narrative common of the classics making the weather and the location a character adding to the doom and foreboding atmosphere. It gives the reader a good idea of life in the era, The language used draws the reader into the time and setting.
A dark story encompassing several tropes. It’s not all doom and gloom, there’s a lighter element too.
