Question:

Do you like Daphne DuMaurier?

I had to read Rebecca when I was in the 10th grade, and because of how much I loved the book....I bought a lot of her books off of ebay after it. But yet...I've never read any of them. lol. One day I will, I just haven't done it yet.

Do you like her? What are your favorite books by her?

I have Jamaica Inn, My Cousin Rachel, The Flight of The Falcon, Don't Look Now, Rebecca, and The Glass Blowers.

Aside from Rebecca, any of those that are really really good that I should read before the others?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: "Rebecca" is one of my favourite Daphne du Maurier books. I also loved "Frenchman's Creek", a romance and weepie, with one of the greatest love scenes I've ever read (it was suggested...)

"Jamaica Inn" is also a good story, a bit of a thriller; and I was intrigued by "My Cousin Rachel".

"Don't Look Now" was scary, and made into a very good film with Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland.

But one of the strangest books, dealing with time travel, is "The House on the Strand".

I've read a few more, but the above remain the most memorable. I envy you reading them for the first time!
