Daphne du Maurier’s 1941 Frenchman’s Creek can be described as a swashbuckling romance novel. Basically a bodice-ripper with some adventure and good suspense. If you like the sound of that combination you'll like it. It is insanely romantic.

My little companion, George. He's been in bed with me all day. I'm not daft, it's chucking it down with rain and I'm a warm alternative to a very autumnal day! I'm even and I feel it would be a heath hazard.

J’adore Daphné du Maurier. Je n’ai pas encore fini celui-ci, mais une chose est sûre, c’est la reine des intrigues. Verdict dans 100 pages :-)

Today I read "The Birds" by Daphne du Maurier for the first time. Wow! I think it's better than what Hitchcock made of it.

Beluister “Niet na middernacht” van Daphne du Maurier.
Uitgezonden door de AVRO op dinsdag 27-05-1975.

Dit hoorspel speelt zich af op Kreta. Een tekenleraar wil daar in alle rust gaan werken.

In het vakantiehuisje waar hij verblijft, blijkt de vorige bewoner onder mysterieuze omstandigheden te zijn verdronken.

@rchopgood @bookstodon This is a boring answer, perhaps, but I never get sick of "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again."

The final story in the collection, 'The Lordly Ones', will haunt me for a while. An extraordinary collection of short stories. Time to re-listen to this edition of backlisted.fm/episodes/104-dap

Heavens to Betsy, I've not finished it yet, but the last story in The Breaking Point collection by Daphne du Maurier is grim, grim, grim.

If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.

Two stories into The Breaking Point by Daphne du Maurier and I'm even more convinced of her genius. And terrified...

My camera doesn't pick it up, but the embossing on this book cover is gorgeous ❤️

STW is one of my favourites writers so I dived into her comic, apocalyptic story ‘Scorched Earth Policy’, about an old couple who toed the “make do and mend” line during the war, only to opt to raze it all down.

For bedtime reading, I am engrossed in Daphne du Maurier's, Don't Look Now short stories. They are oozing with psychopathic intrigue and she still rocks with the coolest of story telling.
