bethsbooketlist 's review for:
Jamaica Inn
by Daphne du Maurier
BQ ✒ - "Dead men tell no tales, Mary"
So this was my second long novel by Du Maurier and I LOVED IT! Thoughts below
1.✔The delicious gothic vibes I got from Rebecca I also got here! Du Maurier had the gift of creating these dark and eerie tales with that constant sense of foreboding that eats the reader up. The harsh scenery of the moors reminded me so much of Wuthering Heights too which is my favourite classic
2.✔Mary Yellen was a fantastic protagonist (who I actually preferred to Mrs De Winter from Rebecca). She was strong willed, determined and not your typical "damsel in distress". The romance she develops in the novel is not fanciful and she does not let this define her, which is an admirable quality - she was an amazing woman to lead such a classic novel
3.✔I loved the plot line, and learning more about how smuggling rings were ran across the British coast in the early 20th century. Cornwall is such an iconic, romantic place in Britain, and i hopefully can visit the iconic locations from this book sometime soon!
Overall, another successful dive into Du Maurier's literature. I can't wait to explore even more 🖤🖤
