Woooow. Who Knew!?

Revisado: 04-21-25

What a great story!

I stumbled onto Du Maurier because of “Rebecca”. (Amazing book) I fell in love with her writing style and have since completed four more of her books. This book making number five.

Each story has been night and day different from each other, yet the writing quality the same. Something about the way she writes that I can’t quite put my finger on, that pulls me in from the first chapter and doesn’t let go till the finishing sentence.

I love to start each story without researching or knowing anything going in and just fully enjoying the enterically woven, developing journey bit by bit.

Many said they didn’t care for the ending of this book. I thought it was absolutely perfect. No other ending could have been this satisfying.

I find myself wishing Du Maurier would have written more books in her time, or maybe even written many of the classics that I desperately want to get through, but just don’t find captivating. I loose interest in so many highly acclaimed books, but NEVER hers. SO glad I stumbled onto this jewel of an author.

I highly recommend this book for any Du Maurier fan. Very different than “Rebecca” yet completely captivating.

SoOoOo GOOOOOOD

Revisado: 04-05-25

Lately I’ve been struggling to find a book that I don’t loose interest in half way through. THIS BOOK… I could NOT stop listening to!!! From beginning to end. Wow. Sooooooo good.

It did have the same, or very similar dark but somehow enchanting feeling as Dracula did. The story is told beautifully and the ending did not disappoint. Kept me wanting more more more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

OH. MY. GOODNESS. Why have I waited till now to read this! I’ve had the hard copy of this book in my library for at least FIVE years!!

Seriously, one of the best books ever. Also, the narrator was AMAZING! If you are on the fence about this book… DO IT!

This is the first book I’ve read by Daphne du Maurier, I absolutely love her writing style. I think I need to read everything she’s ever written now!

Pleasantly Surprised

Revisado: 06-18-24

My reason for starting this book was because a friend of mine told me she didn’t like it, however her husband loved it. This made me curious and gave me a need to decide for myself. I started this book with low “expectations” (hehe), but fell in love with this book somewhere along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, (this journey) it was so good in every way. The ending was perfect. (from what I understand, Dickens was originally going to go with a different ending, but was talked into this one by a friend right before publishing, I am SO glad he listened to his friend!) I definitely recommend this book!! Also, the narrator was wonderful! A+++. Dive in! You won’t regret it!

A story that must be told. This story rips your heart out, but also gives hope. Shows the strength and resiliency of the human spirit. Great narrator. Worth the listen or the read.

Loved This SoOoOo Much! Best Narrator EVER!

Revisado: 02-09-24

So, going in, I had no idea who this narrator was. I purchased this purely based on ratings, I did not realize this is the actor who played Gollum until of course we met Gollum and the voice was identical and I had to look it up! Wow! What a talented actor! (In so many ways!) The story itself obviously needs no review, but listening to this version on audio was SUCH a treat! I couldn’t recommend it more! ♥️

Profound

WOW. Just wow. I’ve wanted to read this book for SO long, so glad I finally did the Tim Robbin’s audio version. He was PERFECT. As for the book. I cried. How could a man back in the 1950’s have had this much insight. Read it. You won’t regret it.
