Trilby by George du Maurier, Dennis Denisoff
5.0

Read as part of my A2 English Literature Gothic Coursework. I chose this book as my third text to study and I'm so glad I did. I really loved the story and characters and it was a surprisingly intriguing read. It's not a typical Gothic novel but Svengali is a brilliant villain and all of the characters are so well written. I also really enjoyed reading about Du Maurier and his life, children and the literary world he surrounded himself in.
