hhfs 's review for:
Jamaica Inn
by Daphne du Maurier
Dead men tell no tales.
Daphne du Maurier at her finest.
After reading Rebecca I brought this book because DdM's writing voice had captured me (and the cover is beautiful!)
I then left it on my to-read shelf for about a year, afraid of being disappointed.
What a fool I can be.
What I love about DdM's novels is the descriptive landscapes that leave no stone un-mentioned, and the tense atmospheres that grab you and make the reader feel like they are a shadow in the dark, quiet corner of the book.
Also the female protagonists, because they are normal- Mary who uses her ingenuity in a time, and place, that tried to stifle her and keep her quiet... and yet she manages to escape and the truth.
