A review by carlyg123
I'll Never Be Young Again by Daphne du Maurier

4.0

I had misgivings about my choice to listen to this book, as it wasn't the typically mysterious and/or gothic text I am accustomed to. More than once I admitted that had this been written by anyone else, I should have liked to have set it aside after the end of part one - at the latest. Then again, I also opted to listen rather than read because the commitment was different and I could simultaneously cross stitch - I did know it wasn't my usual genre before setting out to read.

I'm glad it's finished, I might go for My Cousin Rachel again, next. It was different, but it was insightful and I'm glad that I have read it. I would like to return to it in, oh, at least a decade and see what the concluding chapter insights within me.

For now, I find it encouraging and frightening in equal measure.
