Jamaica Inn
by Daphne du Maurier
It has been an awfully long time since I picked up a Daphne du Maurier book. The last time and first time was when I read Rebecca as part of my Sixth form Literature course and there I fell in love with her gothic settings and writing style. Finally, about 4 years later, I finally got around to picking up another of her books and it did not disappoint at all.
Jamaica Inn is sent in the Cornish moors. The Inn itself is a described as a foreboding, gloomy location, surrounding my nothingness. It certainly gives a spectacular creepy and gothic feel. Personally I am a huge fan of gothic style literature. I don't like to be frightened, but gothic literature (the good kind) usually comes from 18th/19th century and the old world feel only adds to my love of the age and the mood of the novel.
Loved, loved loved this book! Du Maurier is an incredible author. Not quite as good as Rebecca, but so much love for this novel. Du Maurier just writes gothic, creepy literature so well with a little bit of romance and lots of mystery thrown in!
I definitely recommend!
