Book: Jamaica Inn
Author: Daphne du Maurier
Synopsis
The coachman tried to warn her away from the ruined, forbidding place on the rainswept Cornish coast. But young Mary Yellan chose instead to honour her mother’s dying request that she join her frightened Aunt Patience and huge, hulking Uncle Joss Merlyn at Jamaica Inn. From her first glimpse on that raw November eve, she could sense the inn’s dark power. But never did Mary dream that she would become hopelessly ensnared in the vile, villainous schemes being hatched within its crumbling walls — or that a handsome, mysterious stranger would so incite her passions … tempting her to love a man whom she dares not trust.
Our Review
An atmospheric novel of the turbulent life of young Mary Yellan who finds herself living with her Uncle Joss’s violent rages and drinking binges in Jamaica Inn on the wild, desolate moors. A wonderful story of young love, ruthless wreckers waiting on the shore to lure ships to their rocky doom and a crooked vicar!
We all enjoyed it!
