Product Description

On a bitter November evening, young Mary Yellan journeys across the rainswept moors to Jamaica Inn in honour of her mother's dying request. When she arrives, the warning of the coachman begins to echo in her memory, for her aunt Patience cowers before hulking Uncle Joss Merlyn. Terrified of the inn's brooding power, Mary gradually finds herself ensnared in the dark schemes being enacted behind its crumbling walls -- and tempted to love a man she dares not trust.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jamaica Inn by Daphne DuMaurier, September 21, 2008

By	Marjorie P. Morelli "Rapid Reader" (Latham NY, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those of you who have never read DuMaurier, you're missing out on the adventure and intrigue of days gone by. I myself visited the actual Jamaica Inn last year in Launceton, England, and felt the undercurrents of the dark events that once took place there. Just great reading.
